Electrolit, a premium hydration beverage company, announced plans to construct a $400 million manufacturing facility, its first U.S. production location, in Waco, Texas.
The 600,000-square-foot greenfield project is a build-to-suit facility and is set to open in early 2026.
Since entering the U.S. market a decade ago, Electrolit has become the flagship product for a group of companies leading the health and wellness industry. The growing demand across North America has driven the strategic decision to expand in Waco. In partnership with Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. for sales and distribution, and supported by a rapidly growing retail network, consumer demand for Electrolit continues to surge.
Through close collaboration with the Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce, Electrolit has strategically acquired land in the heart of Waco’s largest industrial park, Texas Central Park. This prime location represents a significant investment in the local community, creating opportunities and convenient access for the workforce. The highly automated production and distribution facility will employ over 200 skilled professionals and technicians. The Electrolit team is proud to embark on the next phase of Electrolit’s global development and looks forward to delivering scientifically formulated and domestically produced Electrolit to its valued customers by 2026.
Electrolit’s decision to locate its state-of-the-art facility in Waco represents a regional economic development collaboration between the city of Waco, McLennan County, the Waco Industrial Foundation and the Greater Waco Chamber, with all entities strategically partnering to provide support for the project.
The Waco site will have the capacity to incorporate non-virgin and recycled packaging materials when available, as Electrolit remains dedicated to complying with the state’s plastic usage regulations. Rail infrastructure will be utilized to distribute outbound finished products, significantly reducing carbon emissions and will be able to accommodate future expansion phases. The development of this leading-edge facility that prioritizes automation will be done in partnership with Stellar, a premier EPC firm that won Food Plant of the Year in 2022.
