NEW YORK—Coca Cola HBC AG has started making a local cola, Dobry Cola, in Russia after stopping production and sales of Coca-Cola Co. products following the mass exodus of Western companies earlier this year.

Dobry has been a juice brand in Russia but Coca-Cola HBC, which is separate from Coca-Cola Co., said earlier this month it was exploring extending existing local brands through its Multon Partners business.
