From Conception to Consumption, Refresco's Columbus, GA R&D Facility and Manufacturing Plant Delivers Innovative Beverage Solutions

In the heart of cola country, this concentrate manufacturing facility delivers unmatched quality and service thanks to a unique philosophy on comprehensive beverage solutions

- 

Refresco, an innovative international beverage solutions provider, coined the company tag line, “Our drinks on every table.” Living up to this motto has translated into a unique approach to beverage solutions, with product offerings in most categories and key partnership with retailers andA-brands. At the heart of this robust organization is the company’s Columbus, GA facility, where Refresco’s critical development and recipe formulation work takes place. Out of that Columbus facility has emerged Refresco’s “conception to consumption” model of beverage solutions, and with it a shift in the industry in terms of what companies looking to market beverages can expect from their partner “flavor houses,” and concentrate and manufacturing facilities.

Refrescopurchased the Columbus plant in 2019, as part of its overall growth strategy, but the facility has been a key player in the beverage industry for over a century prior to this acquisition.Formerly a Cott Beverages, and, previous to that a Royal Crown Cola manufacturing facility, the Columbus site is an inextricable part of the history of cola development and production in Georgia, and thus of the evolving beverage industry at large. The addition of the Columbus facility to Refresco’s overall organization has been a critical component in the industry-leading shift towards comprehensive beverage solutions.
