The ground-breaking ceremony at Yuma.

In May, Swire Coca-Cola, USA broke ground for a new facility at Yuma, close to the Mexican border in the Southern division. At 56,000 square feet, the new facility will be three times the size of its current facility at Yuma. The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Yuma and other local dignitaries.

Meanwhile, Swire Coca-Cola, USA’s divisional headquarters at Glendale in Northern Arizona is undergoing an expansion that will double the size of its current facility. In July, its sales centre and warehouse broke ground on a 160,000 square-foot expansion to the existing 140,000 square-foot facility, which will turn Glendale into the largest Coca-Cola facility in Arizona.

The expansions follow the announcement in March that Swire Coca-Cola, USA will distribute Monster products throughout Arizona. In business since 1978, Swire Coca-Cola, USA is one of the largest independent Coca-Cola bottlers in the USA, operating six plants in 13 states.
