Suntory Oceania has officially opened the doors to its new $400m beverage manufacturing facility in Queensland.

The facility will also be the distribution hub for over 40 brands coming from the new $3bn Suntory Oceania partnership. The 17-hectare site has the capacity to hold over 50,000 pallets of product as well as a high-speed bottling line and two canning lines that can fill 180,000 cans per hour.

The new facility will produce Suntory’s RTD portfolio of brands including -196, Canadian Club and Dry, and Jim Beam and Cola, as well as a variety of soft drinks including V Energy which was the first product off the line.

The Shout was taken on a tour of the new facility earlier today, and we are delighted to bring you some images and video from today’s amazing tour. We will also bring you more from the new facility on Wednesday.
