“The addition to our warehouse is important to our business and I’m excited to begin this expansion,” said Charles Ingram, chairman of South Atlantic Canners board of directors.
South Atlantic Canners’ expansion of its Bishopville facility will bring the factory’s total square footage to 300,000, increasing the warehouse capacity by 50%. The company expects to begin preliminary work on the expansion in the fourth quarter of this year.
South Atlantic Canners has operated for more than 25 years, with its original Lee County plant opening in 1974. The company has expanded several times since then, and has partnered with Charlotte-based Coca-Cola Bottling Co Consolidated.
The plant now has four production lines making Coke products in cans, 10oz bottles, 20oz bottles, half-litre bottles and two-litre bottles.
