The Coca-Cola Company and its bottling partners plan to invest $10 billion in infrastructure in the United States between 2026 and 2030. The company announced this in a press release, which was also welcomed by the White House.

The investment plan pertains to the so-called "Coca-Cola system," which includes the U.S. operations of The Coca-Cola Company and its network of 61 bottling partners.

Specifically, it calls for new and expanded production, distribution and office facilities in various parts of the country. Among the projects mentioned by Coca-Cola are facilities in California, Colorado, Indiana, Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida and New York.

This investment adds to a network that, according to the company itself, already includes more than 70 production facilities and hundreds of distribution centers in the United States.

"This assessment reinforces what we see every day: the Coca‑Cola system is deeply rooted in America and continues to deliver meaningful value for the people and communities we serve," said John Murphy, president and chief financial officer of The Coca-Cola Company.

"Through a strong production network, local jobs, supplier partnerships and community investments, we are building on more than a century of impact while reinforcing the resilience of our system and communities across America," he added.

The White House celebrated the announcement with a post on its official X account: "The world's largest beverage company, Coca-Cola, announced it will pour $10 BILLION into American infrastructure. President Trump is bringing back MADE IN AMERICA, and companies all over the world are investing in the USA."

Coca-Cola's impact on U.S. GDP

The company accompanied the investment announcement with the results of a study that assessed the economic impact of its system in the United States through 2025. The company commissioned the study to the consulting firm Steward Redqueen, which had previously conducted an assessment for Coca-Cola.

The analysis included the company's U.S. operations and its network of 61 bottling partners. According to the results, the system contributed $85 billion to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2025. In addition, the study estimated that the system supported nearly 1 million jobs and allocated approximately $37 billion to U.S. suppliers during that year.
