We are very excited to establish one of our newest beverage manufacturing facilities in Temple, Texas," said Brian Hess, Executive Vice President of Niagara Bottling.

Construction for the 450,000 square-foot facility will begin in March 2019 with operations expecting to start in the fourth quarter of this year.
