Overview
- The Planta Centenario Valladolid, which opened Sunday, was built with more than 1,200 million pesos of private investment and will generate over 200 direct jobs.
- The facility houses a fully automated Industry 4.0 production line that operates above 30,000 bottles per hour and raises Bepensa’s returnable carbonated‑beverage capacity by about 30%.
- Bepensa says the new plant can supply roughly 25% of the Peninsula’s demand for returnable products and will reinforce distribution to Yucatán and Quintana Roo from Valladolid.
- Environmental features include wastewater treatment, rainwater capture and reverse osmosis systems, and the company plans for about 10% of the plant’s operational fleet to be electric.
- Executives presented the opening as part of a regional industrial push that ties into Coca‑Cola’s broader $6 billion commitment to Mexico and a move to train local technical staff.
