CORRECTED-Coca-Cola HBC to launch Costa Coffee products in several markets in 2020

(Corrects to say Coca-Cola HBC will launch Costa Coffee products in several markets, not open Costa Coffee outlets, in paragraph one)

July 18 (Reuters) - Soft drink bottler Coca-Cola HBC AG said on Thursday it will launch Costa Coffee products in several markets next year, months after Coca-Cola Co bought the cafe chain from Whitbread in a $5.1 billion deal.

The company, which sells Coca-Cola drinks in 28 countries mostly in Europe, plans to launch Costa Coffee in at least 10 of those markets, including Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and Switzerland.
