Westrock Coffee Company (Nasdaq: WEST) (“Westrock Coffee,” or the "Company”), announced today the company hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its new, state-of-the-art, roasting to ready-to-drink (RTD) facility in Conway, Arkansas. Company executives including Westrock Coffee CEO and Co-founder, Scott Ford attended the event that took place at 480 Exchange Avenue, Conway, Arkansas on November 9, 2022. Charles Nabholz, Chairman Emeritus of Nabholz Construction, a multi-service contractor leading the refurbishments, also attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

“We are thrilled to start the renovations of Westrock Coffee’s largest production facility,” said Scott Ford, Westrock Coffee CEO and Co-founder. “As an industry leader, Westrock Coffee provides beverage solutions to the most distinguished brands around the world, and this new facility enables us to further our ability to deliver the most innovative solutions to our customers in a variety of formats.”

Starting these upgrades marks a significant milestone in our company’s history to further accomplish our mission.”

Once fully operational, the 524,000 square foot facility will be the largest roasting to ready-to-drink (RTD) operation of its kind. The facility will offer ample space for the development, production, and distribution of our coffee, tea, and RTD products, including ready-to-drink cans, glass bottles, multi-serve plastic bottles, and bag-in-box (BiB) solutions. The space will also incorporate a premiere product development lab, enabling the Company to create, test, and produce new beverage solutions.
