Tony Chow assumes role of President, Coke Canada Bottling April 28, 2025

Today, Coke Canada Bottling announced that well-respected and seasoned food and beverage industry leader Tony Chow will be assuming the role of President, effective April 28. The news follows the announcement earlier this year that current President, Stephen du Toit, will be stepping down from his position to begin a new chapter of his career which will include contributing his extensive global Coca-Cola system experience and extensive knowledge and relationships to the long-term success of Coke Canada Bottling by sitting on the company’s board.

Tony is joining Coke Canada Bottling from Kellanova Canada, where he was most recently president and a member of the Kellanova North American Leadership Team. In that role, he was responsible for the successful transformation of Kellogg Canada into two new companies and steering Kellanova Canada’s new vision, culture and strategic direction which is focused on growth and building a diversified portfolio including snacks and natural/organic categories. Prior to that he led the Kashi Company in the USA for several years during which time he successfully turned around the business.

“Tony’s passion for people and extensive experience in successfully leading businesses through transformation into growth organizations will help us ignite our growth and enable our Mission to deliver optimism and create a better future for our customers, consumers and communities as we aim to Be the Leading Beverage Partner in Canada” – Todd Parsons, CEO of Coke Canada Bottling.

A long-time employee within the Coca-Cola System, Stephen du Toit held several successive roles in the Middle East and Eastern Europe before joining Coca-Cola Refreshments in Canada in 2011. In 2018, when Coke Canada became a family-owned business, he joined the new company’s executive team. As COO and then as President, he has helped lead the company through its successful transformation into an independent bottler. “We are very grateful for everything Stephen du Toit has done to help transform our business and build a solid foundation for growth for many years to come. I look forward to continuing to work with him on our board of directors” – Todd Parsons, CEO of Coke Canada Bottling.

Founded in 2018, Coke Canada Bottling is an independent, family-owned business, with more than 6,000 diverse employees coast-to-coast. As Canada’s Local Bottler, the company operates in every province through more than 50 sales and distribution centres and five manufacturing facilities. For more information about Coke Canada Bottling please visit www.CokeCanada.com.
