Niagara Bottling has an extensive and important presence in Stockton, manufacturing a variety of consumer beverages. Niagara’s first two manufacturing operations were located on Runway Drive and Zephyr Street in 2007 and 2014 respectively. Niagara’s newest manufacturing facilities became operational on Arch Road in 2023 and Logistics Drive in early 2024. Niagara’s overall employment in Stockton currently stands at approximately 415 full-time positions between the four plants, and it is projected to grow to an estimated 457 employees once all facilities are completed. All-in compensation (regular pay, overtime, bonuses, holidays, tuition, benefits, etc.) for all of 2023 is approximately $30 million, and projected combined payroll for all four facilities will be just over $40 million. Collectively, they are expected to generate over $1 million dollars in annual tax revenues for the city of Stockton.

Our Commitment to Community
At Niagara, we are committed to making a positive impact on society and our communities. As part of this commitment, our local teams place an emphasis on supporting areas of education, emergency need, community beautification, environment, and health and wellness. We are proud to partner with community leaders and charitable organizations that are making a meaningful difference in the world and in the areas where our facilities are located.
Getting Students Ready for School
Our Stockton teams stuffed 350 backpacks with school supplies to support youth in our local communities. Through our partnership with Volunteers of America, and their Northern California/Northern Nevada (NCNN) affiliate, Niagara supported their Operation Backpack program with a $10,000 grant donation. From backpacks and notepads to pencils and erasers, students in elementary, middle, and high school will soon receive the educational tools they need to succeed.
UNeed2 and Women’s Center Youth & Family Services were some of the local recipients of the program, assisting more than 300 students in Stockton. Overall, the local Operation Backpack program provides over 5,000 backpacks and supplies for students across the Sacramento region.
Having a brand-new backpack and supplies not only provides a child in difficult circumstances with the tools they need to succeed, it also gives them confidence and hope.
Spreading Holiday Cheer
Our teams in Stockton worked with Volunteers of America to make “Waiting for Santa Kits” for children at their family shelter. The kits included pajamas, hot cocoa, cookies to put out for Santa, a book to read while they wait for him to come, and letters from Santa written by our Team Members. These gifts and letters from Santa provided a memorable holiday experience for the benefiting families during a difficult time in their lives.
Shoe Drive
Our team supported a shoe drive in Elk Grove by donating two pallets of water for their event as well as setting up chairs, tables, banners and activity stations.
Some of the local organizations our Team Members regularly donate their time and resources to include:
- Boss Lift guard/reserve deployment support
- Children’s Museum of Stockton

Our Focus on Sustainability
Niagara is committed to responsible resource usage and integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business. Niagara has an obligation to not only support environmental initiatives, but to innovate and lead in their product, packaging, manufacturing, and promoting consumer awareness and action on sustainability issues. Here’s how Niagara is putting sustainability first:
- Water Stewardship: A standard Niagara facility uses less water to produce its products than it takes to keep three golf courses green. Niagara pays volumetric fees for the water it uses and millions in taxes and fees to municipal systems that enable them to maintain and improve their infrastructure.
- Packaging Efficiency: Niagara leads the industry with the lightest bottles and film used for packaging, significantly reducing plastic use, and further optimizes packaging by eliminating unnecessary corrugate components.
- Lowest Environmental Impact: Niagara PET water bottles have the lowest environmental impact across most impact categories when compared to other common beverage and water packaging types.
- Recycling Infrastructure and Education: Niagara supports The Recycling Partnership, which has rolled out 1.7 million recycling carts, and the International Bottled Water Association’s “Put it in the Bin” recycling education campaign.
Our half liter bottles have an embodied carbon footprint that is 46% below the U.S. average.
