Milo’s Tea invests in manufacturing plant in South Carolina
Ready-to-drink tea company to build 110,000-square-foot production facility
Milo’s Tea Co., Bessemer, Ala., announced it will invest more than $130 million initially to build a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Spartanburg County, S.C. In the beginning, this new facility will bring more than 100 jobs to the area. This new investment is a direct response to the growth of the Milo's brand, the company notes. Milo’s expects to break ground by mid-March 2023 and start production of its famous tea and lemonade in fall 2024.
After a multi-year site selection process, the company chose the 48-acre campus at the corner of U.S. Highway 290 and U.S. Highway 221 in Moore, S.C. The 110,000-square-foot facility will be the fourth production plant for the company. Milo’s other manufacturing facilities are located in the Tulsa, Okla. area and Bessemer and Homewood, Ala. The move to South Carolina supports the company’s goal of expanding its production of all-natural teas and best tasting beverages. Milo’s also plans on adding additional lines of production over the coming years.
