WACO, TEXAS — Coca-Cola Refreshments has received a tax abatement incentive to expand its Waco presence with a $13.3 million blow-molding line. The line will be used for in-house production of bottles in its Waco facility, located in Texas Central Park. Coca-Cola established its first Waco manufacturing facility in 1995, and Coca-Cola Enterprises constructed a 50,000-square-foot regional distribution center to supply the central Texas market in 2007. The expanded operations are a result of the company’s continued growth in product demand and a long-established partnership with the city of Waco, McLennan County and the Waco Industrial Foundation.
