Coca-Cola opens first factory in Gaza Strip
2016-12-01
An absolutely fascinating corporate decision.
[IsraelTimes] Coca-Cola says it has formally opened its first factory in the Gazoo Strip, in a move that could create hundreds of jobs in the beleaguered Paleostinian enclave.

The bottling facility was partially open for several months but begins full operations after a ceremony.

The $20-million investment is the company’s first plant in Gazoo and will create around 120 jobs immediately, a statement says, with an eventual expansion to 270.
Supplying a captive market...
"The opening of our first Gazoo plant is an important milestone," says Zahi Khouri, the founder and chairman of National Beverage Company (NBC) responsible for Coca-Cola in the Paleostinian territories.

"Our new Gazoo plant shows our ongoing commitment to investing and supporting progress in communities around the world," says Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent in a statement.
That certainly is one way to look at it.
