Premium alcohol drink company Diageo North America today announced it will build a $415 million manufacturing and warehousing facility in Montgomery.

The project, slated to be completed by the second half of this year, will create about 100 jobs. An estimated 750 construction jobs will be created during the building phase.

The 360,000-square-foot facility, to be known as “Diageo Montgomery,” will produce a multi-million case capacity annually for the company’s North American supply chain and exports.

Marsha McIntosh, president of North America Supply at Diageo, said the company is “deeply grateful” to city, state and community leaders for supporting the project.

“The new facility will not only bring our business closer to our customers and distributors in the South, but also enable our broader supply network to operate more efficiently and sustainably,” McIntosh said. “This investment underscores our commitment to building greater resiliency into our supply chain across North America.”

Gov. Kay Ivey hailed the announcement as impacting Montgomery “and beyond.”

“Diageo’s decision to open a state-of-the-art facility in Montgomery is a testament to Alabama’s ability to attract world-class companies and foster meaningful economic growth,” Ivey said. “This production and distribution hub not only brings high-quality jobs to our state but also reinforces Alabama’s reputation as a premier location for global investment.”

Globally, Diageo has brands across spirits and beer categories including Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, J&B and Buchanan’s whiskies, Smirnoff, Cîroc and Ketel One vodkas, Captain Morgan, Baileys, Don Julio, Tanqueray and Guinness.
