CONCORD – Red Bull and filling company Rauch will partner to build a new beverage-manufacturing, filling and distribution center in Cabarrus County, creating more than 400 new jobs and investing more than $740 million in the City of Concord by 2027.

“Global manufacturers need a world-class workforce to support their expansion plans,” said Gov.
