Collective Buying Power with ABECS
In 1979, 21 small to medium sized, mostly regionally based enterprises involved in the bottling of carbonated soft drink and /or cordial formed ABECS, a collective buying group, established to use its inherent buying power to negotiate competitive prices with suppliers for both production and packaging requirements. Since then ABECS has grown its membership base to its current number of 47 and extended its range of suppliers to meet the expanding needs of the member base.
While bottlers of carbonated soft drink and /or cordial remain a large part of the cooperative, today, ‘still’ and ‘carbonated’ water bottlers make up a significant number of the membership.
