Congo LLC is undergoing an $8.25 million relocation and expansion. The beverage firm works with brands like Prime Hydration; 3D Energy Drink; and Alani Nu, the Louisville-based supplement company known for its zero-sugar energy drinks.

The company’s Louisville headquarters will move from its 18,000-sqft facility at 7201 Intermodal Dr. to an existing 110,000-sqft space at 13551 Triton Park Blvd. in the East End.

  • The creation and maintenance of 500 Kentucky-resident, full-time jobs over 10 years
  • An average hourly wage of $49.80 across those jobs
