That's a US bottling company that buys from the actual Coca-Cola Company.

The company was formerly known as Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and changed its name to Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. in January 2019.

These bottling companies are the ones that beat people up in developing countries, not the actual manufacturer. They can be confusing.
