This new line will significantly increase production capacity for Monster Energy Company products – including Monster and Mother brands – to meet surging consumer demand
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Australia (CCEP) announced the completion of a new, state-of-the-art canning line at its Queensland manufacturing facility in Richlands, Brisbane.
Supported by a substantial $75 million investment, the line will be the largest and most efficient canning line in the CCEP network, capable of processing up to 120,000 cans per hour.
This new line will significantly increase production capacity for Monster Energy Company products – including Monster and Mother brands – to meet surging consumer demand. It will also support the production of other favourites such as Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta, which have been proudly manufactured in Australia for nearly 90 years.
Orlando Rodriguez, Managing Director of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Australia, said: “We have a long history of manufacturing in Australia – nearly 90 years – and continue investing heavily in our operations. Richlands is our largest manufacturing site in our Australian network and now it is home to our most efficient and largest canning line to date in our global network, bolstering Queensland’s thriving manufacturing industry and supporting Aussie jobs.
“By leveraging cutting-edge technology and world-class equipment, the new line will increase production efficiency, enabling faster and more sustainable delivery of our beverages for Australians to enjoy.”
During the 18-month construction phase, more than 250 local contractors worked safely on-site. Additionally, more than 18 new full-time positions have been established to support the ongoing operation of the line, contributing to job creation and security for Queenslanders.
