**Swire Coca-Cola Selects Colorado Springs for $475M Bottling Facility**
Colorado Springs has been chosen as the future site of a major new manufacturing hub for Swire Coca-Cola, USA. The company announced a $475 million capital investment in Southeast Colorado Springs, a decision expected to create 170 net new jobs and significantly strengthen the region’s economic growth.
The new 620,000-square-foot bottling facility will be located at Peak Innovation Park and will serve to modernize and consolidate Swire’s production operations. Groundbreaking is planned for 2026, with the facility set to replace the company’s current 90-year-old plant in Denver. Once operational, the advanced site will produce more than 230 beverage options across over 60 brands, including sparkling soft drinks, water, teas, juice drinks, and sports beverages.
The construction phase of the project is projected to support approximately 1,190 temporary jobs, delivering an estimated $103 million in direct labor income to workers and families throughout El Paso County. Upon completion, the plant’s workforce will include roles in production, maintenance, quality control, logistics, and management. Each position within the facility is expected to support two additional jobs throughout the broader regional economy.
Swire Coca-Cola’s investment marks a significant step forward in the development and modernization of beverage manufacturing in the region, underscoring Colorado Springs’ growing role as a hub for innovation and commerce.
