Our Stories

10 years ago, I started as a maintenance technician at Coca‑Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC) before I got the opportunity to become Production Manager – and then Plant Manager – when all of the Romerquelle operations were moved to the small village of Edelstal.

What has always impressed me about Coca‑Cola? That one can act independently and flexibly here. But these were only two of the many reasons why I decided - after completing a apprenticeship as a retail salesman and ten years in sales – joining the company.

I originally come from the gastronomy business and then worked in field sales for six years before joining Coca-Cola HBC. I've always been fascinated by the brand, so one day I thought to myself: that's where I want to go! I have now been working in the Coca-Cola HBC Sales team for eight years.

A job fair could never be the starting signal for your career? Well, it can actually. For me, the Career Calling - one of the biggest career fairs in Austria - was the door opener for my career in our company.

Logistics excellence - hardly anyone can imagine what I am working on when I first mention in which department I work. In fact, we do not have what we would call a "typical work day".

Why did I choose Coca-Cola HBC? Because I had a very good feeling after the personal interview and have always believed that, if there is an opportunity, it should be taken.

After completing my degree in nutritional science, it was my goal to find a job with one of the local “big players” and see how I can combine the theoretical background from my studies with practical experience in a company. The decision for Coca-Cola HBC Austria was a very clear one for me.

When I started my trainee program at Coca-Cola HBC Austria after completing my studies, I was certain that my career development  within this company will never be boring.
