Coke Zero Co-Creator to Keynote at PPMA Show
The PPMA Show 2026 has announced its final keynote speaker, Jeremy Schwartz, co-creator of Coke Zero and former CEO of Pandora, The Body Shop, and L'Oreal.
Schwartz will deliver his keynote speech 'Purpose, Performance and Profit' on day two of the show, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham from 22-24 September.
The PPMA Show is the UK's biggest processing and packaging machinery, robotics, and industrial vision event, providing visitors with access to expert insight, cutting-edge technology, and solutions, as well as live equipment demonstrations.
Schwartz's background in Metallurgy at Sheffield and Production Engineering at Cambridge has led him to a passion for Research and Development. His role as European Innovation Director at Coca-Cola saw him propose the consumer concept and co-create Coke Zero, turning it into a multi-billion-dollar global brand.
