Coke Canada Bottling opens new can production line

Coke Canada Bottling officially opens a new can production line at the company’s Richmond, B.C., manufacturing facility.

Following a $12.55 million investment, the major upgrade expands local production capacity, enhances supply chain resilience across Western Canada, and reduces reliance on third-party manufacturers.

“As a family-owned, Canadian business, we make, move, and sell the most-loved beverages that Canadians enjoy – many of which are made local in Richmond,” said Tony Chow, president of Coke Canada Bottling. “We’re thrilled to officially open our new can line and get even more product into the hands of our customers, and ultimately consumers. This investment reinforces our commitment to producing locally and supporting our growth in Canada.”

Since becoming an independent, family-owned business in 2018, Coke Canada Bottling has invested approximately $65 million in its Richmond manufacturing and distribution operations. In 2024, the company opened a new, 230,000-sf sales, warehouse, and distribution centre in Richmond, thereby streamlining logistics to better meet customer needs.

Today, Richmond is home to nearly 500 Coke Canada Bottling employees. The facilities operate 24 hours a day, five to seven days per week, depending on the season, producing a range of beverages such as Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Monster, and A&W.
