In a LinkedIn post, the bottler called this its “largest, single investment” to date.
“The new line will enable us to produce millions of more beverages in cans and get innovation to market faster, supporting our growth across Ontario and eastern Canada,” it said.
A statement from the provincial government on Tuesday (17 February) said the new line will be “one of the most technologically advanced” in Canada, boosting production and packaging capacity and speeding up time-to-market for new “innovations”.
The project follows a C$8m investment in the company’s Hamilton distribution centre last year.
