Swire Coca-Cola USA has opened the doors to a new eco-friendly sales centre and warehouse on a 17-acre site near Colorado Springs Airport.
Utah-headquartered Swire holds the Coca-Cola franchise for parts of 13 western US states, and includes six production plants. The new Colorado Springs facility is one of seven distribution centres in Colorado. The 145,000 square-foot building has a 120,000 square-foot warehouse with 15 truck docks, and capacity for around 200,000 cases of Coca-Cola beverages at any given time; it will double existing warehouse space for the 800 products and 50 brands Swire Coca-Cola provides to 1,200 local businesses. The building will be powered by a 900-kilowatt solar array to be installed on the roof, in line with Swire Coca-Cola’s goal of purchasing 100% renewable electricity for core operations by 2026; water-efficient landscaping around the building also helps reduce water usage on the property. Swire employs around 150 people at the new Colorado Springs facility.
