Danone North America is investing up to $65 million over the next two years to create a new bottle production line in Jacksonville, Fla., to support the company’s long-term growth strategy. The new production line will deliver major benefits across the business, including enabling flexibility in bottle design, accelerating the company’s sustainability goals, and improving cost efficiencies. In addition, it will create up to 40 new full-time jobs.

Specifically, the expansion will increase the production of several of Danone’s coffee and creamer brands, including International Delight, Silk, and SToK, while supporting the company’s sustainability goal by reducing its overall water consumption, decreasing carbon emissions, and accelerating the company’s goal of packaging circularity.
