Keurig Dr Pepper has revealed its commitment to invest an additional $100 million to further advance the expansion of its coffee roasting and manufacturing facility in South Carolina, USA.
As a result of this investment, Keurig Dr Pepper anticipates the generation of approximately 250 new job opportunities by 2027 at its Spartanburg County facility. This project represents a continuation of the facility’s phased construction, which commenced in 2019. Prior to this, KDP had already invested a cumulative total of $380 million in the facility, leading to the creation of 155 jobs at the site.
Keurig Dr Pepper’s facility in Spartanburg County is dedicated solely to coffee roasting and the packaging of K-Cup pods designed for use in Keurig brewers. KDP proudly states that this facility ranks among the world’s largest manufacturing sites with LEED certification, signifying its commitment to environmentally sustainable practices. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, represents the most widely adopted global standard for assessing and promoting green building initiatives.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development in South Carolina has granted Spartanburg County a $1 million Set-Aside grant to support the expenses associated with enhancing building infrastructure.
KDP’s chief supply chain officer, Roger Johnson, said, “Our facility in South Carolina remains an important asset in the ongoing evolution of our next-generation coffee production capabilities. Keurig Dr Pepper is proud to continue to grow in the welcoming and talent-rich community of Moore. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from the State of South Carolina in helping to facilitate our ongoing investment and hiring needs.”
The further development of the facility is expected to be complete in 2027, with jobs opening in manufacturing and distribution operations.
