It is also expected to help the company strengthen its position in the Greater Montreal Area.
In addition to facilitating local production of canned beverages, the line will expand the facility’s capacity to allow more Aliments du Québec products to be certified.
These products will include the new 32-pack Coke Classic packaging, Coke Zero, Diet Coke and Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
