Coca-Cola Consolidated announced plans to invest $15 million to expand its regional remanufacturing center at the Monroe Corporate Center. The company is adding 42,000 square feet of space to meet growing demand and expects to complete the work in fall 2024.
“This investment reflects our dedication to innovation, growth and our teammates,” Mark Simmons, senior vice president of equipment services at Coca-Cola Consolidated, said. “We’re expanding our remanufacturing capacity and fostering an environment of learning and development, ensuring a bright future for both our teammates and the Monroe community.”
The added capacity will include new paint booths and high-pressure cleaning equipment, as well as classrooms and training workstations to prepare Coke Consolidated’s next generation of diverse servant leaders.
Coca-Cola Consolidated is the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States. In addition to servicing its own beverage cooling and dispensing equipment, such as coolers, fountain/vending beverage dispensers and ice machines, Coca-Cola Consolidated’s subsidiary, Equipment Reutilization Services (ERS) will be performing similar work at the facility for other Coca-Cola Bottlers and commercial business partners.
