Niagara Bottling Plans Kansas City, Missouri, Production Facility
07/21/2021
The company cites the Kansas City region’s central location, availability of skilled talent and strong community relationships as key drivers of its decision.
“Niagara Bottling is excited to establish a second manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Missouri,” said Brian Hess, Executive Vice President for Niagara Bottling. “This new facility will allow Niagara to produce new beverage products and serve important customers in the Midwest.”
“We want to congratulate Niagara Bottling on their expansion in the Kansas City region,” Governor Mike Parson said. “This investment and the new jobs it will create will provide even more opportunities for Missourians to support their families and advance their careers right here in our state.”
The Kansas City region’s $226 billion food and beverage industry continues to see growth with more than 660 companies located in the area and a workforce of more than 25,000 employed in food and beverage manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. For their expansion, Niagara Bottling used the Missouri Works program, an incentive tool to help companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
“Niagara Bottling, LLC’s selection of Kansas City reinforces our region’s position as a growing hub for food and beverage logistics in the U.S.,” said Tim Cowden, President and CEO of the Kansas City Area Development Council. “We are pleased to welcome the new operation and are eager to watch the company expand.”
