The former Supply Chain Planning Manager at Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria, Chavdar Chorbadzhiyski, joins the company's leadership team and takes on the role of Supply Chain Director. He succeeds Renato Beritic, who continues his successful career as the Supply Chain Director at Coca-Cola HBC Adria, responsible for the markets in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. In his new role, Chavdar Chorbadzhiyski will lead a team of 450 professionals responsible for production, planning, procurement, logistics, health, safety and environment, engineering, and other key company areas. Additionally, he will be responsible for managing and developing the production centers of Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria in Kostinbrod and Bankia.

"It is both an honor and a responsibility for me to take on the role of Supply Chain Director. I believe that together with the team, we will continue to achieve high results and strengthen the position of Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria as a leading manufacturer in the country. Our company is a leader in its field, and our team drives every success. That is why we will continue to invest primarily in our people and technology, introduce innovations, optimize processes, and expand our sustainable practices to keep creating value for our partners, customers, and communities," shares Chavdar Chorbadzhiyski.

He joined Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria 18 years ago, starting his career as a Sales Representative. Four years later, he transitioned into Procurement, where, over eight years, he held various positions before taking over its leadership in 2019. Under his management, the team won first place in Coca-Cola HBC Group’s Supply Chain Excellence awards for two consecutive years. At the beginning of 2024, Chavdar took on his next challenge as Supply Chain Planning Manager, expanding his functional knowledge. Thanks to his commitment and strategic thinking, he has established stable teams that work closely with the entire organization.

With the appointment of Chavdar Chorbadzhiyski, Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria reaffirms its commitment to the development and career growth of talent within its team.

This achievement results from its team's accomplishments in key areas such as business strategy, employee engagement and development, and overall human resource management.
