Diageo North America is investing $415 million for a new manufacturing and warehousing facility in Montgomery, AL. The 360,000-sq.-ft facility will have a multi-million case annual production capacity for Diageo’s leading beverage alcohol brands.

The new facility, which will be called Diageo Montgomery, will provide a new point of operations closer to the company’s beverage distributors in the southern region. The site’s strategic location is expected to reduce required road travel, which will help to further mitigate carbon emissions associated with logistics operations. The new facility will also employ state-of-the-art technology for more efficient water and energy use across the site.

“The new facility will not only bring our business closer to our customers and distributors in the south, but also enable our broader supply network to operate more efficiently and sustainably. This investment underscores our commitment to building greater resiliency into our supply chain across North America," said Marsha McIntosh, president of North America Supply at Diageo. 

This new project is part of a broader multi-year program across multiple geographies to strengthen the company’s global supply chain, delivering additional productivity savings and making its operations more sustainable.

Development of Diageo Montgomery is currently underway, and the site is expected to be fully operational in the second half of calendar year 2025. Approximately 750 jobs will be created during the construction phase and, once operational, the facility will employ approximately 100 full-time personnel.

As the company's largest market, Diageo North America has 12 facilities across the US, Canada, and the US Virgin Islands. The North American business comprises three markets: US Spirits, Diageo Beer Company USA, and Diageo Canada.
