Interior fit out of DrinkPAK’s 1.4-million-square-foot beverage manufacturing plant at @Bellwetherdst is well underway. This state-of-the-art facility is expected to open in early 2027 as DrinkPAK’s flagship East Coast location, creating hundreds of new jobs across production, batching, quality control, maintenance, engineering, warehousing, and other skilled manufacturing functions. At full capacity, the manufacturing plant will be able to pump out about 3,000 cans per minute and 5 billion cans a year, making it the largest beverage manufacturing facility in the world. Every milestone at The Bellwether District brings us closer to a new chapter of opportunity for South and Southwest Philadelphia.
