Coca‑Cola Consolidated announced a $35 million investment to add a new glass bottling line at its Indianapolis facility, expanding glass capacity to three lines from its existing two PET/rPET and two can lines.
The new line will be built at 5000 W. 25th Street, with construction slated to begin in late 2026. The project is expected to create 15 to 20 full‑time jobs and strengthen the company’s position as one of only three U.S. facilities that bottle beverages in glass.
The expansion reflects Coca‑Cola Consolidated’s strategy to meet growing demand for glass packaging and to support its sustainability focus. The company serves more than 17,500 businesses across 14 states and the District of Columbia and employs over 1,200 teammates in Indiana’s nine facilities.
"This expansion is another example of how we strategically invest in our business to build a solid operational foundation and create opportunities for our teammates in the communities where they live and work," said Dave Katz, president and chief operating officer.
The investment aligns with the broader Coca‑Cola system’s growth, following The Coca‑Cola Company’s Q1 2026 results that included net revenue of $12.5 billion and earnings per share of $0.86. By expanding glass capacity, Coca‑Cola Consolidated positions itself to capture premium and sustainability‑oriented demand while reinforcing its competitive moat in the regional market.
