Keurig Green Mountain will build a new roasting and packaging facility in South Carolina. Once completed, the plant will create 500 new jobs locally.
Keurig, a leader in single-serve coffee brewing systems and cups, will construct the new facility in Moore, S.C., at a cost of $350 million, according to the company.
The production operation is intended to house coffee roasting and packaging for the K-Cup pods. Officials say it also may support beverage distribution and warehousing sometime in the future.
Keurig Green Mountain chief supply chain officer Richard Jones said “the Keurig Green Mountain business continues to grow. As we plan for the future, we’re pleased to locate our newest facility in Spartanburg County to support our growth.”
“We view the region’s talented employee base and attractive business environment as the right place to invest,” he said.
