Pernod Ricard has invested $22 million in its first-ever ready-to-drink (RTD) canning line at its Fort Smith plant in Arkansas that would support growth and create more job positions in the area.
According to Pierre Joncourt, senior vice president at Pernod Ricard North America, the high-speed canning line will be instrumental in increasing their production capabilities and swiftly bringing their RTDs to market.
The Fort Smith plant produces several spirits, including Kahlua Coffee Liqueur and Seagram’s Gin.
Pernod says the new canning line and RTD offerings will enable the company to make popular brands more accessible to consumers.
Jennifer Anglin, senior operations director for the Fort Smith plant, noted that the canning line expansion will allow them to produce more spirits across their brand portfolio and create many jobs to keep up with demand.
