Coke Canada Bottling invests $75M into new Calgary warehouse

Coke Canada Bottling has opened a new high-density, technology-enabled warehouse at its Calgary facility. 

The warehouse represents a $75 million investment, the largest made by the company since becoming an independent, family-owned Canadian bottler in 2018. 

The 60,000-sq.-ft. warehouse features the company’s first-ever automated storage and retrieval system, which centralizes storage within the facility. The warehouse is capable of storing about 20,000 pallets.
