Late last week, Red Bull took a big step forward in building its American supply chain.
More specifically, on September 9th, Red Bull broke ground on a new $1.7 billion manufacturing plant in Concord, North Carolina.
This plant is a joint venture between Red Bull and two other companies, and it’s expected to be over 2 million square feet at completion, with capacity for up to 3 billion cans annually.
Since they just broke ground, obviously delivery will take some time – they’re estimating operations will begin in 2028 and the factory won’t hit full capacity until 2031, but this is still a meaningful step forward for American manufacturing, which has been getting absolutely hammered since the tariff trade wars kicked off this Spring.
And at full capacity, this manufacturing and distribution center in North Carolina should provide up to 700 jobs, which is obviously a boon to the local economy and can begin chipping away at the massive job losses manufacturing has suffered so far this year.
