Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest independent Coca-Cola bottler in the U.S., plans to expand its operations in Columbus, Ohio. The $90 million project is expected to create 25 jobs.

The new 60-acre campus, located at the Rickenbacker Industrial Center, will include a new 400,000-square-foot distribution and warehouse facility, and two 15,000 square-feet buildings to house equipment repair services and fleet maintenance.

“The investment we’ve made here in Columbus is evidence of our focus on growth in Columbus,” said Sam Meiner, Vice President Mid-West Market Unit at Coca-Cola Consolidated. “This commitment to our teammates and production capabilities is a long-term dedication to improving how we serve the world’s best brands and flavors to our communities and the people of Ohio.”

Coca-Cola Consolidated makes, sells, and distributes Coca-Cola products, along with other beverages. The company currently operates 15 facilities in Ohio.
