Union Beverage Packers, LLC, located in Hillside, NJ, was established in 2004 by a group of private investors. The company now employs more than 150 employees in a 3 shift, 24 hour operation.
The first hot fill line was commissioned by Fuze Beverage and went into production in July 2004 and was operated by a handful of employees during a one, ten hour shift. Over the next two years, volume grew steadily increasing to three, eight hour shifts.
In March 2006, the second hot-fill production line was installed and commissioned. The new line runs plastic bottles and can fill up to 750 bottles per minute.
In July 2008, the third hot-fill filler and thermal system were installed as an extension to the existing Line 2. Both fillers combined can produce up to 1,200 to 1,400 bottles per minute.
