\n\tOntario: Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Ltd. will invest $141 million to renovate and expand its flagship manufacturing, distribution and sales centre in Brampton, adding a new production line and creating construction jobs.<\/p>\n
\n\tAccording to a government release, the expansion will introduce a production line capable of manufacturing at least 20 million additional cases annually.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe project is expected to create up to 500 jobs during the construction phase.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\tPremier Doug Ford described the investment as a vote of confidence in Ontario\u2019s workforce and manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\tThe new production line will be built by Canadian tradespeople, with at least 75% of materials sourced domestically, according to the government.<\/p>\n
\n\tOfficials said the upgraded facility will increase production capacity and packaging capabilities and allow the company to bring new products to market more quickly.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe investment follows an $8 million upgrade to Coke Canada Bottling\u2019s Hamilton distribution centre last year.<\/p>\n
\n\tVic Fedeli, Ontario\u2019s minister of economic development, job creation and trade, said the expansion strengthens the province\u2019s position as a major food and beverage manufacturing jurisdiction in North America.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\t\tAccording to a statement, Coke Canada Bottling has invested more than $230 million in its Brampton operations since becoming an independent, family-owned company seven years ago. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\tThe facility employs more than 1,300 workers and services over 7,000 customers from Kitchener to Oshawa. Products manufactured at the site are distributed across Ontario and eastern Canada.<\/p>\n
\n\tTodd Parsons, chief executive officer of Coke Canada Bottling, said the investment will add digital manufacturing enhancements to improve operational flexibility.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Ontario government said the province has attracted more than $213 billion in investment since 2018 and created one million jobs during that period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
