Distribution
Chile
Soft Drinks, Juices, Waters and Other Beverages: In Chile, we distribute our products through a distribution system that includes: (i) trucks owned by third parties (405 trucks) which provide exclusive distribution service, and (ii) our own trucks (474 trucks). In 2024, 89% of our distribution was carried out by exclusive third-party trucking companies and 11% by Andina group companies. Distribution of all Andina beverages in Chile is carried out from distribution centers and production facilities. In most cases, the transportation company collects payment in cash or checks from the customer. In some cases, the driver also collects empty returnable glass containers or PET bottles of the same type and quantity as those delivered or collects cash deposits for net returnable bottles delivered. This task is particularly significant in the Chilean territory where returnable containers accounted for approximately 29.8% of the total volume sold of non-alcoholic beverages in 2024. Certain important customers (such as supermarkets) maintain accounts receivable with us, which are settled on average every 48 days after invoices are issued.
Beer and other Alcoholic Beverages: Andina in Chile uses its distribution system to distribute beer, and other alcoholic beverages in its franchise territories. Since 2018 it has developed a portfolio expansion strategy to become a total beverage company. To this end, the Company has entered into agreements with different strategic partners that have transformed its value proposition towards the customers of the different channels it serves in each category.
