Niagara plans to construct a new, highly automated manufacturing facility in Kenton County, located in the city of Elsmere, Kentucky beginning in late 2024. The project will be located at the C5 Airport East Logistics Center. The 52-acre site was developed by CORE5 Industrial Partners and supported by state and local officials. The facility will be the company’s first location in Kentucky. The BE-NKY Growth Partnership was instrumental in facilitating site selection for the project.
The new facility will include 436,800 square feet of advanced manufacturing space including beverage production and distribution operations. It will utilize state of the art equipment and technology focused on environmental efficiency and sustainability. Niagara’s capital investment is anticipated to be over $120 million when the project is completed. In addition to utility fees, the project is also anticipated to generate over $300,000 in local property tax revenues annually.
Total employment is estimated to be 60 full-time positions with an initial annual payroll of approximately $5.6 million including important benefits such as retirement and medical insurance in addition to bonuses and overtime compensation. Niagara offers significant job training opportunities and formal professional development programs, supporting promotions and career advancements from within.

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 Niagara facility uses less water to produce its products than it takes to keep a few 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 uses the least amount of plastic for its bottles.
- Lowest Environmental Impact: Niagara PET bottles have a lower environmental impact across most impact categories when compared to other common beverage and water packaging types. Our half-liter bottles have an embodied carbon footprint that is 46% below the U.S. average.
- Recycling Infrastructure and Education: Niagara supports recycling education through International Bottled Water Association’s “Put it in the Bin” campaign and the “Keep the Cap On” campaign.
