Coca-Cola FEMSA is investing more than BRL 600 million (approx. $110 million) into its production plant in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, Brazil.

The announcement was made during a meeting last week between Mogi das Cruzes mayor Mara Bertaiolli and industrial manager Juan Martinez. The investment will enable the development of two new production lines for soft drinks at the site.

Construction is due to be completed between October and December 2025, with the Mogi facility set to begin operations on the two new production lines in January 2026.

The new machinery and structures will enhance sustainability and efficiency at the site, which will benefit from optimised energy and water efficiency in addition to reduced gas emissions.

Additionally, the focus on water sustainability extends to external projects such as Water Neutrality, which returns the volume of water used at the company's plant to nature.

Mario Cesar Schafaschek, supply chain director at Coca-Cola FEMSA Brazil, said: “The Mogi facility plays a strategic role not only for our company but also within the Coca-Cola System in Brazil. We are very optimistic about the arrival of the new soft drink lines, featuring high-level technology that will bring great efficiency to the use of resources.”

He added: “This expansion reinforces our commitment to the sustainable development of the region, strengthening value generation for our partners, customers and the local community.”

During the meeting with mayor Bertaiolli, new partnerships between Coca-Cola FEMSA and Mogi were also discussed. These include initiatives to contribute to the modernisation of sewage treatment plants and investments in early childhood through social projects, as well as the hiring of local staff to provide services for the company.

Coca-Cola FEMSA began operations in Brazil in 2003, and is now the largest-selling manufacturer of the Coca-Cola System in the country.

It has over 25,000 employees and operates in eight states (Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and São Paulo) with 11 factories and 47 distribution centres.
