07/23/2024
Keurig Dr Pepper Canada, the Canadian division of Keurig Dr Pepper, plans to establish distribution operations in Balzac, Alberta. The project is expected to create 50 jobs in Rocky View County.

Through an agreement with XTL Group (XTL), the company will lease a 100,000-square-foot space which will preserve bottled beverages, coffee products, and small appliances and enhance its ability to service Western Canada.

“In addition to expanding our already significant distribution footprint in Canada, the decision to establish our operations in this new distribution centre in the Calgary region marks a major milestone in our growth and innovation journey," said Carl Saba, vice-president of supply chain and operations, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada. "This multi-million-dollar investment over the next five years underscores our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service to our customers in Western Canada. This new collaboration with the XTL team will also enable us to improve the flexibility and responsiveness of our operations from the Port of Vancouver.”

Keurig Dr Pepper Canada is a beverage company with a portfolio of more than 70 owned, licensed, and partner brands. The company serves multiple categories including coffee, tea, soft drinks, juice and mixers, and has a single-serve coffee brewing system.

"Keurig Dr Pepper and XTL Group's investment is a significant win for Alberta, creating more than 50 permanent new jobs and positioning Balzac as a distribution hub. Collaboration between Invest Alberta, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada, and Rocky View County supported their final decision with this strategic expansion of their operations. We are honoured to help the company better service their Western Canadian base while enhancing the Alberta economy with this high-profile group of brands,” noted Rick Christiaanse, CEO, Invest Alberta.
