The $200m investment will create nearly 400 jobs, says the coffee and beverage giant.
Fernando Cortes, Chief Supply Chain Officer, KDP, said: “KDP is focused on building an integrated, best-in-class manufacturing network that supports the production of all beverages in all categories.
“Our new facility in Allentown and additional supply chain investments in existing facilities support our vision for providing a beverage for every consumer.”
