Starbucks Sandy Run Roasting plant in Gaston, South Carolina plant is one of seven roasting plants in the world supplying ground coffee and whole beans to fuel the world. Their facility was designed differently than the other roasting plants. Most of the other plants have a standard, linear flow with product progressing from one operation to the next. This facility, however, was laid-out to adopt a cellular concept, incorporating both the roaster and the packaging line. There are six roasters in the facility and five packaging lines. They produce packages anywhere from 12-ounce bags up to 80-ounce bags. They produce eighty different variants of coffee.
What to expect: Typically, once everyone has passed through security the group will move to a conference room and the Starbucks team will review the rules for entering the floor, as well as give a brief run through of the plants operations. The tour will last approximately 45-minutes, with 10-minutes following for Q&A.
We can't wait to see you there!
