BANKS DIH Limited has won the prestigious Coca-Cola Excellence Cup Award for small markets within the Coca-Cola Latin Centre Business Unit (LCBU).
According to a release, this is the second time that the company has won the important award, having first secured the title in 2016 ahead of other leading bottlers in the Caribbean and Latin America that competed in several categories including sales, health, safety and the environment.
The announcement was made over the weekend during the LCBU annual awards Ceremony in Miami, Florida.
“It is with a sense of pride and accomplishment that we accept on behalf of our team at Banks DIH, recognition from the Coca-Cola Company in the Excellence Award, that our effort and contribution were not in vain and were recognised,” Andrew Carto, Human Resources Director said in remarks to the audience.

He added that the company reiterates its total alignment with the objectives of the Coca-Cola Company to grow the iconic brand and to uphold the attributes of quality, consistency, health, safety of employees and promoting sustainable development, both globally and with the communities in which it operates.
Carto also recognised the contribution of Quality Management and Sales/Marketing teams led by Seeranie Ramnauth, Quality Assurance Executive; Jennifer Khan, Coca Cola Brand Executive and Afesha Burke, Environment and Safety Executive, for their unstinting support.
Banks DIH Limited has been a bottling partner with Coca-Cola for over 30 years when the iconic beverage was officially launched in Guyana.
“We at Banks will readily attest to the fact that our relationship with Coca-Cola has been for us a rewarding experience on several fronts. We have, as a result of those mutual efforts, been able to not only to grow the brand within Guyana, but also to improve the quality and efficiencies in general across our company, thereby increasing value for all of our stakeholders,” Carto stated.
