DrinkPak Plans Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Manufacturing Operations

12/18/2025
Canned beverage manufacturer DrinkPak plans to establish operations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The $195 million project is expected to create 174 jobs over the next three years.

The company will lease a 1.4 million-square-foot manufacturing facility located on 74.8 acres in the Bellwether District.

“Our 1.4 million-square-foot Philadelphia location will continue to solidify DrinkPAK’s position as North America’s premier canned beverage manufacturer, with the ability to service our clients with any drink, any can, any format, and now, in any location,” said Nate Patena, DrinkPAK CEO. “The City of Philadelphia, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and HRP Group are already proving to be great partners, and we look forward to becoming a part of the Philadelphia community.”

To support the project the company received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $2 million Pennsylvania First grant and is also eligible to apply for the Manufacturing Tax Credit program. Because the Bellwether District is located in a Keystone Opportunity Zone with a term that runs through 2043, the company may also receive additional tax benefits.

“The Shapiro Administration is proud to support DrinkPAK and its major investment in Pennsylvania,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “This project is a tremendous win for the Bellwether District, as well as the Commonwealth’s manufacturing industry — one of the important sectors we’re focusing on in our ten-year economic development strategy. We’re committed to investing in growing companies that open new doors for Pennsylvanians and fuel our economic momentum.”

DrinkPAK is a contract manufacturer for alcoholic and non-alcoholic canned beverages. The company provides full-service support for procurement, batching, processing, filling, packaging, warehousing, and distribution.
