The project will renovate and expand the flagship manufacturing, distribution and sales centre and introduce a new state-of-the-art production line capable of producing at least 20 million additional cases annually.
“I’m thrilled to welcome this historic investment from Coca-Cola Canada Bottling, which is another vote of confidence in Ontario’s world-class workers,” Premier Doug Ford said in a statement Tuesday.
The Brampton expansion, which will be built exclusively by Canadian tradespeople and have at least 75% of materials sourced domestically, will be one of the most technologically advanced production lines in the country, the government noted.
The project follows an $8-million investment by Coke Canada Bottling in its Hamilton distribution centre last year.
Brampton facility employs 1,300
Coke Canada Bottling has invested more than $230 million in its Brampton manufacturing and distribution operations since becoming an independent, family-owned business over seven years ago.
The Brampton facility is home to more than 1,300 employees, and beverages made there are distributed across the province and throughout eastern Canada.
“This investment by Coca-Cola Canada Bottling is tremendous news for Brampton and a strong endorsement of our city as a premier destination for advanced manufacturing and innovation,” said Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown.
“The expansion of this flagship facility will create hundreds of good-paying jobs, strengthen our local supply chain and support economic growth across our community. Brampton’s diverse workforce, strategic location and business-friendly environment continue to attract global leaders looking to grow in Canada.”
Coke Canada Bottling CEO Todd Parsons said the company is “committed to investing to grow in Brampton, Ont. and across the country for the long term.”
