Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo and headed by Representative Director & President Calin Dragan; hereafter “CCBJI”) has completed the first installation of Olympic Torch Relay Memorial vending machine at CoFuFun in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, thanks to this municipality’s deep understanding and full support of this initiative.  

This installation aligns with the program proposed by Coca‑Cola (Japan) Company, Limited, which serves as Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay Presenting Partner, to promote the deployment of Olympic Torch Relay Memorial vending machines specifically in the municipalities included in the torch relay route for the purpose of further boosting the regional and nationwide mood in support of the torch relay events.

Olympic Torch Relay Memorial vending machine features an original wrapping that displays the name of the municipality where this machine is installed, along with the date when the torch relay will take place in that part of the municipality. By displaying this set of information, this vending machine is designed to play an active role in notifying and reminding the local citizens when the torch will pass through their communities. 

Tenri City is aiming to promote the Olympic Movement including the community-oriented activities to encourage its citizens to participate in international exchange, since the city registered as a host town of France and Egypt. The installation of Olympic Torch Relay Memorial vending machine in this city has been realized through the municipality’s full support of the particular purpose this vending machine is expected to fulfill.

 

CCBJI hopes that this installation of Olympic Torch Relay Memorial vending machine will lead to further promoting the Olympic spirit and motivating more people to participate in sports and international exchange.
