A strike by Coca-Cola Enterprises workers in France has ended with all three affected facilities expected to resume production by Tuesday, the Atlanta-based bottling company said Monday.
CCE handles about 80 percent of Coca-Cola's North American can and bottle volume. It also is Coke's exclusive bottler for Belgium, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands and most of France.

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing last week, CCE said it had increased production at other facilities to keep up supply in Europe and hoped to resolve matters promptly at the French plants, where workers went on strike April 17. The facilities accounted for about 40 percent of annual sales volume in continental Europe, the filing said.
One of the plants was running again Friday, a second plant came online Monday and the third plant was expected to resume production Monday evening, CCE spokeswoman Laura Brightwell said.
