• This center will serve over 40,000 customers and is expected to create 1,200 direct and indirect jobs in Jalisco. 

Tonalá, Jalisco, May 26, 2025. With an investment of 1.4 billion pesos, Arca Continental, one of the world’s leading Coca-Cola bottlers, has opened its new Distribution Center (CEDI) in Tonalá, Jalisco, now the largest of its kind in the company’s global network. This project is part of the company’s strategy for sustainable growth and logistical expansion in Mexico's western region.

The new facility will manage distribution services for over 40,000 customers across Tonalá, Guadalajara, Tlaquepaque, Tlajomulco, and El Salto, and is expected to create up to 1,200 direct and indirect jobs, thereby strengthening Arca Continental’s operational presence in the eastern part of Guadalajara’s metropolitan area.

Covering 14,200 m², the CEDI has a storage capacity of 1.25 million physical cases and over 40,000 pallets and operates 245 distribution routes serving all sales channels. It is notable for its sustainable infrastructure, including rainwater collection systems, water treatment, and a total of 580 solar panels covering an area of 1,000 m². These panels will generate 300 KWH of clean energy, preventing approximately 534 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.

The opening ceremony event was led by Jesús Pablo Lemus, Governor of Jalisco, Sergio Chávez, Mayor of Tonalá, along with other state cabinet officials, federal and state legislators, and municipal authorities.
