The 230,000-square-foot facility is part of the company's $42-million investment in the city
A 230,000-square-foot Coca-Cola distribution centre that moves 100,000 cases of Coke a day has officially opened in east Richmond.
COO Mark Scholtes said Coke Canada is on a mission to be the leading beverage partner in the country, highlighting the need to invest in infrastructure to improve their growth and distribution capabilities. This is more efficient than traditionally delivering complete empty bottles to be filled and reduces transportation by 75 per cent, which has a significant impact on their environmental footprint, added Scholtes.
“When you see that iconic red truck or vans all over the streets, those are our employees, those are our friends, those are our family,” he said. “We're not in the States. We're here in Richmond.” As mayor, he highlighted the investment, sustainability and the good-paying jobs the facility will bring to the city.
