Coke Canada Bottling President Tony Chow officially opened a new can production line at the company’s Richmond Manufacturing Facility today. 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 the Lower Mainland’s Local Bottler, Coke Canada Bottling continues to invest in its owned manufacturing infrastructure to support sustainable growth and better serve customers and consumers across British Columbia and beyond.
“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 brand-new, 230,000 sq. ft. sales, warehouse, and distribution centre in Richmond-streamlining logistics to better meet customer needs.
Today, Richmond is home to nearly 500 Coke Canada Bottling employees, including 150 at the manufacturing facility and 350 at the distribution centre. The facilities operate 24 hours a day, five to seven days per week, depending on the season, producing a wide range of beloved beverages such as Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Monster, A&W, and more.
Coke Canada Bottling also contributes approximately $132 million annually to the Lower Mainland economy through local suppliers and partners. The company proudly supports community organizations including Junior Achievement, reflecting its commitment to making a meaningful difference in communities, building its business responsibly and making its employees and stakeholders proud.
