The company said production could be re-launched in Estonia if a new factory should be built here.
BBN reported in December that Coca-Cola HBC, the Coca-Cola bottler in Estonia, planned to transfer production and that the company plans to build a new plant in Latvia.
"In the meantime, production of PET bottles will be transferred to our Lithuanian plant in Alytus and production of glass bottles to Poland," said Piret Jaaks from Coca-Cola HBC. Jaaks said that the company has found suitable vacant land in Ropazi in Latvia and plans to purchase it in the near future.
Tallinn plant was opened in 1992.
