The move comes as Boston Brands of Maine, a Sazerac unit, completes a $ billion bottling plant expansion. The expansion will add 46 more jobs.
Sazerac spokeswoman Kristie Wooldridge told the Lewiston, Me., Sun Journal the Lewiston facility had been running three shifts five days a week.
“We are now moving to a 24/7 production schedule, which requires four shifts to run alternating 12-hour shifts seven days a week,” she said in an email. “The 46 people we are adding will make up the new fourth shift team.”
