USA: Electrolit announces $400 million manufacturing facility

Electrolit, the Mexican sports drink firm, has announced plans to build a new $400 million manufacturing facility in the US state of Texas.

The new 600,000 sq ft plant will be the company’s first US-based production facility and is expected to open by 2026. It is being constructed in response to “surging” demand driven by its partnership with Keurig Dr Pepper for sales and distribution and a rapidly growing retail network

The Waco facility will create over 200 jobs and will also have the capability to combine non-virgin and recycled packaging materials.

“We’re excited to announce our new U.S. manufacturing facility, marking a major milestone in our growth and commitment to quality”, an Electrolit spokesperson said. “As we move forward, we remain dedicated to providing the best hydration solutions in the market and are confident that the years ahead will bring even greater innovations and improvements”.
