PepsiCo Foods Vietnam has officially commenced construction of its state-of-the-art snack manufacturing plant in Ha Nam province on August 3, 2024, coinciding with the company’s 30th anniversary in the country.
Spanning 8 hectares, the new facility is set to become a cornerstone of PepsiCo’s operations in Vietnam, with an annual production capacity of over 20,000 tonnes of snacks.
The new plant represents PepsiCo Foods Vietnam’s strategic expansion to meet increasing consumer demand and strengthen its market presence. This milestone in its growth in Vietnam is expected to significantly contribute to the country’s development.
PepsiCo Foods Vietnam aims to help Vietnamese farmers adopt sustainable practices through its PepsiCo Positive strategy, targeting 100% sustainable sourcing and promoting regenerative agriculture by 2030.
The Ha Nam plant exemplifies PepsiCo’s proactive approach to sustainability. Utilising biomass and solar power, the facility aims to minimise its environmental impact, including implementing rooftop solar panels and biomass systems to generate electricity from local agricultural waste.
The new plant is anticipated to serve as a driving force for community development, extending beyond its economic and social impact. It is projected to create numerous job opportunities in sectors like manufacturing, logistics, packaging, and agriculture, thereby boosting the local economy. Once operational, the plant would generate over 1,000 jobs in direct and indirect employment.
