Coca-Cola Commissions New Production Line in Waco

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Minute Maid Company (Sugar Land, Texas), a subsidiary of The Coca Cola Company (NYSE:KO) (Atlanta, Georgia), has begun commissioning a new hot-fill production line at its plant in Waco, Texas. The new line is the 15th at the facility and will increase the plant's production capacity of noncarbonated beverages when completed next month.

The project, which has an estimated total investment value of almost $30 million, started last year at the more than 600,000-square-foot plant, which employs about 300 people. Industrial Rigging Service of Central Texas Incorporated (Hewitt, Texas) was retained as the general contractor. Once completed, the new line will produce products such as the Like Fuze, PowerAde and Vitamin Water brands. Industrial Info Resources detailed the scope of the project, tentative schedule and key contacts.

In addition to the new hot-fill production line, Coca Cola also embarked on $2.7 million renovation of the wastewater treatment facility at the same plant that will clean the plant's wastewater before entering the city's system. The new wastewater facility is also scheduled for completion next month.

As part of its North American Industrial Database, Industrial Info is currently tracking almost $400 million in active capital and maintenance projects within the Food and Beverage Industry in the state of Texas.
