the united africa company ( uac ) was a british company which principally traded in west africa during the 20th century .

the united africa company was formed in 1929 as a result of the merger of the niger company , which had been effectively owned by lever brothers since 1920 , and the african & eastern trade corporation .

in the early 1930s the united africa company was nearly reduced to bankruptcy and as a result it came under the control of unilever which had just been formed .

unilever had only been created from the merger of lever brothers and the dutch margarine union earlier on 3 march 1929 .

the united africa company continued as subsidiary of unilever until 1987 when it was absorbed by the parent company .

this latest product recall came as coca - cola was in the midst of yet another change at the top . in february 2004 daft announced his intention to retire following a search for a new chief executive . after considering a number of outside candidates , the company hired a semi - outsider , e . neville isdell , in june 2004 . an irish citizen who had grown up in africa , isdell was a former senior executive at coke who had led the company ' s push into a number of new markets around the globe in the 1980s and 1990s . he left the company in 1998 to become chairman of coca - cola beverages , a major coke bottler , and then retired in 2001 . the new leader was faced with many of the same challenges that his predecessor struggled with little success to overcome : improving marketing , forging better relations with the company ' s bottlers , and satisfying consumer demand for more healthful beverage products , particularly of the noncarbonated variety .

world war i and the ensuing sugar rationing measures slowed the growth of the company , but the pressure of coal rations led candler ' s son , charles howard , to invent a process whereby the sugar and water could be mixed without using heat . this process saved the cost of fuel , relieved the company of the need for a boiler , and saved a great amount of time since there was no need for the syrup to go through a cooling period . the company continued to use this method of mixing into the 1990s .
in the mid - 1980s , coca - cola reentered the bottling business , which had long been dominated by family - operated independents . coca - cola began repurchasing interests in bottlers worldwide with a view toward providing those bottlers with financial and managerial strength , improving operating efficiencies , and promoting expansion into emerging international markets . the trend started domestically , when the parent company formed coca - cola enterprises inc . through the acquisition and consolidation of two large bottlers in the south and west in 1986 . the parent company acquired more than 30 bottlers worldwide from 1983 to 1993 . by then , the market value of the company ' s publicly traded bottlers exceeded the company ' s book value by $ 1 . 5 billion .

an event that had an enormous impact on the future and very nature of the company was the 1899 agreement made between candler and two young lawyers that allowed them to bottle and sell coca - cola throughout the united states : the first bottling franchise had been established . five years later , in 1904 , the one - millionth gallon of coca - cola syrup had been sold . in 1916 the now universally recognized , uniquely contour - shaped coke bottle was invented . the management of all company advertising was assigned to the d ' arcy advertising agency , and the advertising budget had ballooned to $ 1 million by 1911 . during this time , all claims for the medicinal properties of coca - cola were quietly dropped from its advertisements .
