Coca-Cola to Close Northampton Bottling Plant in 2023
Coca-Cola announced it will close its bottling plant at 45 Industrial Dr. in Northampton in the summer of 2023, leaving its 319 employees to find new jobs, a move Mayor David Narkewicz told the Daily Hampshire Gazette “will be a significant economic loss for the city of Northampton.” “After careful consideration, the Coca-Cola Company has decided to close our production facility in Northampton, Massachusetts,” the company, headquartered in Atlanta, said in a statement. “We did not make this decision lightly and are grateful to have had the opportunity to have been a part of the Northampton community.”
