Quote: 'When The Coca-Cola Company started discussions with us, we knew we had finally foundthe right opportunity -- and the right partner. Working with Coca-Cola has made us a larger business that employs more people, and we are better able to serve our community.' TIM HARRIS, OWNER, HARRIS & FORD, LLC

Harris & Ford, LLC, an African-American-owned company engaged in sourcing and distributing specialty products to a variety of industries, was established in 1994. By 2002, the business totaled 20 employees with sales of $50 million.

In 2003, through our Supplier Diversity Program, Harris & Ford began jointly sourcing ingredients for Coca-Cola, both domestically and globally, finding high-quality ingredients from around the world at beneficial price points for the Company.

The business stimulus and connections provided by Coca-Cola have contributed to Harris & Ford's steady sales growth since 2002. As a result of this successful relationship and compliance with our business standards, Harris & Ford's capacity and capability increased significantly. In addition, Harris & Ford received numerous business opportunities to distribute key ingredients globally for our customers and other corporations.
