Coca-Cola HBC would increase its share of the Hungarian coffee market, which has started distributing a new coffee brand, Caffé Vergnano, the company announced at its press conference in Budapest on Thursday.

According to their plans, an additional 300 restaurant-hotel partners will be involved in the sale of Caffé Vergnano, which is available in 200 domestic restaurants, by the end of 2023. In the cooperation, Coca-Cola provides its sales network to introduce the Italian coffee company and coffee brand in Hungary, with which they have appeared in 12 markets so far, and will start distributing in another 8-9 countries next year.
