Case Study: Coca-Cola Europacific Partners achieves dramatic cost savings and faster translations with RWS language technologies

CCEP achieve dramatic cost savings with RWS language technologies

Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), the world’s largest independent Coca‑Cola bottler with 33,200 employees serving 1.75 million customers across Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the Pacific, faced rapidly rising translation volumes and costs across 180 sites. Translation had grown organically with many suppliers, creating administrative overhead, inconsistent terminology and tone, limited automation and slow turnaround times.

CCEP ran a PoC and pilot with RWS and then rolled out Trados Enterprise for centralized translation memory and terminology, Language Weaver MT (with custom engines) and RWS language services for post‑editing. The result: over 50% of volume now processed by MT, ~20 million words translated in the first six months, much faster turnaround (minutes not days), significant cost reductions, fewer quality complaints and much greater consistency across content.
