MCS Coca-Cola Company has commissioned a new state-of-the-art beverage production facility, becoming the first in the region to introduce an aseptic soft drink plant based on dry technology. The newly launched facility significantly reduces water and energy consumption and lowers plastic bottle weight by up to 25 percent, reinforcing the company’s commitment to resource efficiency and environmental sustainability. By integrating advanced technologies into water and beverage production, MCS Coca-Cola is contributing to Mongolia’s sustainable development goals and strengthening the country’s industrial capabilities.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) highly evaluated MCS Coca-Cola’s extensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and, in support of the company’s long-term sustainability strategy, provided sustainability-linked financing to the food and beverage sector for the first time last year. The construction of the new plant was carried out within the framework of this financing.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Hannes Takacs, EBRD Resident Representative in Mongolia, stated:
“MCS Coca-Cola successfully met the EBRD’s stringent development-focused financing criteria and secured USD 51.6 million in funding. Such financing requires not only strong operational performance, but also a genuine commitment from company leadership to sustainable development. MCS Coca-Cola fully met these requirements.”
MCS Coca-Cola CEO L. Myagmarjav added:
“This advanced facility enables us to locally produce a wide range of beverages sold in more than 200 countries worldwide, while also creating opportunities to substitute imports of tea and juice products. It marks an important step in expanding Mongolia’s domestic beverage production.”
The use of aseptic packaging technology allows for better preservation of the natural taste of tea and fruit juices, enabling MCS Coca-Cola to offer consumers fresher, innovative, and high-quality products.
