Moore, SC
Milo’s Tea Company selected Hixson to design and engineer a greenfield, $130 million manufacturing and distribution facility to produce tea and lemonade products. The scope of the 180,000 SF project, which also incorporates office and employee welfare space, included master planning, site selection, process and packaging engineering, building and utilities design, and automation engineering services. The initial facility design includes four filling/packaging lines with capability to run gallon, half-gallon, and single-serve packages, as well as the ability to accommodate two additional lines and blow molding when needed. In addition, the site was master planned to accommodate up to 12 additional lines in the future.
