Keurig Dr Pepper Expands Moore, South Carolina, Production Operations

09/18/2024
Keurig Dr Pepper, a producer of hot and cold beverages, plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. The $141 million project is expected to create 84 jobs.

The new facility, located at 3220 Moore Duncan Highway, will produce next-generation K-Rounds, plastic-free coffee pods created from premium coffee beans that are ground, pressed and wrapped in a protective, plant-based coating.

“With this new investment, the KDP facility in Spartanburg will remain a key site representing our manufacturing and production innovation. We are grateful for the ongoing, outstanding support we’ve received from the state of South Carolina and county of Spartanburg as we continue to grow in this area,” said Keurig Dr Pepper Chief Supply Chain Officer Roger Johnson.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits. The council also awarded a $450,000 Set-Aside grant to Spartanburg County to assist with the costs of building improvements.

“We are thrilled Keurig Dr Pepper selected Spartanburg County and South Carolina as the production home of the company’s next-generation coffee pods. KDP’s expansion, the company’s second in less than a year, is further proof that South Carolina is the ideal location for businesses to start, expand and build a legacy,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

KDP’s beverage portfolio consists of 125 iconic brands including carbonated and non-carbonated beverages such as Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Mott’s, Snapple and Core Hydration, as well as the Keurig brewing system, with leading owned brands Green Mountain Coffee.

“Keurig Dr Pepper has been a tremendous partner since coming to Spartanburg County, and this latest investment solidifies that they’ve found a great place to do business. On behalf of Spartanburg County, I’m grateful for their partnership and for the opportunities they’ve created for our residents, Spartanburg County Council Vice Chairman and Economic Development Committee Chairman David Britt added.
