Niagara Bottling plans to invest $38 million to expand its operations in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Responding to increased demand for bottled water, the company added two new production lines at its 409,000-s.f. manufacturing and distribution facility located in the Palm Beach Park of Commerce, a 1,200-acre master planned industrial park in Jupiter, Florida.
This expansion resulted in the company leasing an additional 115,000-s.f. of distribution space in a newly constructed building nearby in the park.
These two expansions will add 30 new jobs to the initial 50 jobs created to operate the plant.
The Business Development Board reported it assisted both expansions with expedited permitting. The plans needed to be fast tracked to accommodate the recent increase of demand for bottled water. Creating $38 million in capital investment, the company continues to meet the need for bottled water in stores across the region.
According to Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate services firm, when completed Palm Beach Park of Commerce will encompass 6.5 million s.f. of Class A warehouse and distribution space.
Andrew Peykoff Sr. started bottling Niagara water in five-gallon glass containers for home and office delivery in 1963. The company is based in Diamond Bar, California.
In the early ‘90s, Niagara expanded into offering single-serve private label bottled water for grocery, club store, convenience and wholesale customers.
Throughout the following decade, Niagara’s developments in vertical integration, innovative bottle design and high speed manufacturing positioned the company as the industry leading private label bottled water supplier in the Western United States.
Niagara’s family owned and operated status continued with Andy Peykoff II becoming president and CEO in 2002. Since then, Niagara has established itself as a national leader in bottled water with geographically diversified production facilities throughout the United States.
Niagara is the largest family owned and operated bottled water company in the United States.
