Nor-Cal planning major expansion

Nor-Cal Beverage Co., West Sacramento, CA, is laying the groundwork for a major expansion in its Southern California operations through the recent purchase of 5.1 acres of developed light-industrial land adjacent to its contract packaging plant in Anaheim.

The purchase is motivated by the need for expanding and increasing space for production, logistics, and shipping operations. The adjacent parcel comes with 50,000 sq ft of warehouse space, office space, and a shop facility.

“Despite the economy, our business is growing, and we see more growth on the horizon,” says Shannon Deary-Bell, Nor-Cal president and CEO. “This purchase was an ideal opportunity in terms of size and location.”

Nor-Cal’s customers include Coca-Cola North America, Hansen’s, Arizona Tea, Nestle Products, Florida’s Natural, and Welch’s. The company also makes its own Go Girl beverage brand, which is expanding into national distribution.
