About

Arca Continental manufactures beverages owned and licensed by The Coca-Cola Company in Mexico and parts of Latin America. It is the third largest Coca-Cola bottler in the world. Jaime Sánchez Fernández, the company’s executive legal director and general counsel, heads the legal department that oversees the company’s expansive operations. Following successful progress in Mexico, in 2016 Coca-Cola brought Arca Continental into the US to be its exclusive bottler in the southwest region of the country, covering Texas and parts of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas – operating nine production plants in total. The legal team was utilised to help secure the agreement, which sees Arca Continental expand its international footprint to a portfolio that already stretches from Mexico to Argentina. In another significant operational project for the company, the legal team handled legal matters relating to the opening of its third snacks production plant for Bokados in Queretaro, as part of its strategic plan to expand its Bokados brand presence and coverage throughout Mexico.
