1970 F&N Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Kuching


F&N Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Kuching, Penrissen Road 4.5mile

Fraser & Neave (F&N) is an Malaysian company while Coca-Cola belong to USA.

The Malaysian company bottle and distribute Coca-Cola on behalf of America.

It was during this visit we learn the secret of coca-cola.

The F&N manager show us the ingredient of Coca-Cola - dark liquid in a small bottle he shown us holding in his thumb and index finger. The ingredient is a high concentration. No one knows how to make the ingredient in Malaysia. All the small bottles are imported from Coca-Coca company in America.

A small bottle of " secret" take out each time only when the production line is ready with a big tank of 'raw Coca-Cola' for mixing the two to become the real-Coca-Cola. The machine then started and fill into the glass bottles together with carbonet.

Fraser & Neave started operations at Kuching in 1966 with one production line producing 567,000 cases a year.

All the bottles of secret ingredient are preserved in a big refrigerated room with a big heavydoor. The door was opened for us to see the inside during our visit. Some one joking asked what will happen if by mistake the door is close leaving someone trapped inside. The manager replied that person would be frozen to death.
