Nestlé Waters has selected Centre County, Pennslyvania, US, as a potential location for a new $50m bottling facility.
The search for a new factory location was carried out under a collaboration between the company and the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County (CBICC) Centre County Industrial Development Corporation (CCIDC).
The company is considering building a new facility in order to cater to the increasing consumer demand for bottled water.
Said to be the company’s third bottling plant in Pennsylvania, the proposed factory will bottle Deer Park 100% Natural Spring Water for customers across the Mid-Atlantic.
CBICC president and CEO Vern Squier said: “A Nestlé Waters bottling facility would inject tens of millions of dollars into our local economy, provide a substantial tax benefit, and bring family-wage manufacturing jobs back to our communities.
“The opportunity to bring a global leader in the food and beverage industry into Centre County is a win-win-win for our workforce, our tax-base, and for economic development.
