Soft drink giant Coca-Cola is staking out some more territory in northeast Calgary with what it says is the company's largest single investment in a facility since 2018.
The state-of-the-art bottling plant, which will include a high-density warehouse at its existing property at 23 Street N.E., will cost an estimated $70 million, officials said."Our mission is to deliver optimism and create a better future by bringing sustainable value for our customers, consumers and communities," said Todd Parsons, CEO of Coke Canada Bottling, in a statement.
The warehouse is expected to be 60,000 square feet and have the capacity to store 19,000 pallets of Coca-Cola products. The investment is the latest development for Calgary's 400 Coca-Cola employees, many of whom walked off the job two years ago over wage and scheduling issues., when workers and the company agreed to a nine per cent wage increase, an boost in maximum severance and scheduling flexibility.The Calgary bottling plant operates 24 hours a day, six days a week and services 4,000 customers in southern Alberta.
