PepsiCo is investing 13 million USD in its soft drink factory in Dragomirești

PepsiCo announced today a 13 million USD investment in installing a modern fully automated production line at its soft drink factory in Dragomirești.

The production line is considered the most automated in PepsiCo’s portfolio in Europe and can produce approximately 1 million bottles per day. The energy consumption of this line is reduced by about 30 percent compared to conventional lines, while energy efficiency per liter produced is 30 percent higher. Additionally, the new line produces 60 percent more beverages per unit of time, using 20 percent less CO2 emissions and reducing water consumption by 30 percent per liter of beverage produced. At the same time, it contributes to a decrease in the amount of plastic used by approximately 30 tons per year.

„The investment in automation reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and efficiency. The new line can produce approximately 1 million bottles per day, simultaneously consuming 30 percent less energy than a conventional line. The high level of automation allows our employees to focus on improving processes, professional and personal development, as well as the continuous simplification of operations. Thus, this investment will help us strengthen our position as a regional production and distribution hub for Central and South-Eastern Europe.”, stated Radu Berevoescu, General Manager & Senior Commercial Director East Balkans, PepsiCo.

PepsiCo’s 13 million USD investment is an important element of their 5-year development plan, implemented at the Dragomirești soft drink factory, with a total investment of 40 million USD.
