A regional Coca-Cola manufacturer will shut down a plant in Ventura after over 100 years<\/a> in production.<\/p>\n

Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling will close the plant on July 10, the company announced in a recent state filing. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe regularly assess our locations, products and services to ensure we can continue driving sustainable growth and innovation across our business,\u201d a spokesperson for Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling told SFGate.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Employers must submit a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, to alert employers, state and local officials at least 60 days before major layoffs. The initial notice was submitted Friday.<\/p>\n

A total of 85 employees will be affected by the closure, according to the notice. Seventy-eight of them will be reassigned to other facilities, and the rest will be able to apply for open roles at other Coca-Cola plants, a company spokesperson told SFGate. <\/p>\n

Operations from the Ventura plant will be transferred to other Southern California facilities. <\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n

Coca-Cola shut down a Bay Area plant in American Canyon in late December. That closure affected at least 45 workers, according to the WARN notice. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling also shut down<\/a> its Salinas location in June.<\/p>\n

Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling is a subdivision of Reyes Holding, which manages major beer and drink distributors and McDonald\u2019s largest global distributor. Reyes Holding began distributing Coca-Cola in 2015 and officially formed Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling in 2022.<\/p>\n

The company runs 22 manufacturing centers in California, including two production and distribution centers in Los Angeles. The company operates 50 facilities across 10 states. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A regional Coca-Cola manufacturer will shut down a plant in Ventura after over 100 years in production.
