Niagara Bottling will invest $95m for establishing a manufacturing and bottling operation plant in Chesterfield County in the US State of Virginia.

An announcement in this regard was made by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. The company will use filtration to produce its Niagara brand and private label bottled water.

Niagara also got a $500,000 grant for the project which was approved by the Governor from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund.

Additionally, the bottler will also be getting sales and tax exemptions on its manufacturing equipment.

The Meadowville Technology Park in the county will be home to the new bottling unit which is expected to produce Niagara brand and private label bottled water.

Virginia Governor McAuliffe revealed that his state had to compete against Maryland for this project which will bring 76 new jobs.

The Governor said: “Recruiting companies such as Niagara Bottling is at the heart of our efforts to create jobs, diversify and build a new Virginia economy.”

Virginia Jobs Investment Program will be funding and providing services to support the company’s employee training activities at the new facility.

Virginia Commerce and Trade Secretary Maurice Jones said: “The Commonwealth offers the best overall business environment for a company to grow, and I am confident Niagara Bottling will benefit from our world-class assets”.

Niagara Bottling operation executive vice president Brian Hess said: “Niagara Bottling, LLC is committed to providing a high-quality product with unmatched quality service to its customers.

“The Chesterfield, Virginia location allows the company to fulfill that commitment by providing an optimal location that is close to both its existing and growing customer market.”

Headquartered in California’s Ontario, Niagara is a private label bottled water supplier in the country.
