Yoshida Foods International (YFI) has expanded its capabilities in
its 70,000-square-foot plant near the Portland International Airport,
creating one of the most extensive facilities for manufacturing and
co-packing high-end beverages and specialty sauces on the West Coast.
The extended capabilities were added to produce the premium soda brand,
Crater Lake Soda, marketed by Ocean Mist Sales & Marketing, which
is affiliated with the Yoshida Group.
This new facility is also serving Portland brands such as Kombucha
Wonder Drink, an organic, sparkling fermented tea. This innovative
manufacturing plant provides not only hot-fill PET/plastic/glass
capabilities, but is one of the only operations on the West Coast to
offer tunnel pasteurization for mix-blend, cold-filled, carbonated,
beverages in a glass bottle. The plant is also kosher and organically
certified in addition to numerous other attributes.
