February 17, 2026



Verst Logistics is proud to announce a new strategic alliance with Matrix Bottling Group – a leading manufacturer of beverages, with facilities in North Carolina, California and Nevada, marking an extension of Verst’s services into the Southeast. As part of this collaboration, Verst will be operating in a new 550,000 square‑foot facility in Morganton, North Carolina, near Matrix’s manufacturing plant and designed to support the growing needs of beverage companies across the region.

This new location strengthens Verst’s ability to deliver integrated warehousing, fulfillment, packaging, and transportation solutions to beverage brands and other similar markets seeking scalable, efficient, and reliable logistics support. The alliance between Verst and Matrix Bottling Group will enable Verst to use its operational expertise to support Matrix Bottling Group’s customers requiring third-party logistics services, and creates a comprehensive, end‑to‑end solution for beverage producers operating in or entering the North Carolina market.

“North Carolina’s beverage industry continues to grow, and companies need partners who can match that pace,” said, Todd Johnson, President and COO, Verst Logistics. “Our partnership with Matrix Bottling Group enhances our ability to provide customers a seamless, vertically integrated service model that helps beverage brands accelerate speed‑to‑market and strengthen their supply chain performance.”

As Verst expands its presence in the beverage sector, the company will also be attending the Craft Brewers Conference & Brew Expo America, where its team looks forward to connecting with brewers and beverage brands seeking a logistics partner capable of supporting growth throughout North Carolina and beyond.

“Matrix Bottling Group looks forward to teaming with Verst Logistics to expand logistics options for our valued customers,” said Sam Hakim, President, Matrix Bottling Group. “Together, we’re delivering a streamlined, highvalue logistic solution for our customers that supports both emerging and established brands.”

The North Carolina facility is expected to begin operations in April 2026, with customer onboarding already underway.
