PepsiCo will invest $64 million to expand its beverage concentrates plant in Uruguay’s Colonia Free Trade Zone by more than 6,000 square meters to expand its zero-sugar offerings.
The expansion would include upgraded production rooms, an extension of water waste treatment, and the plant’s footprint to manage its manufacturing facilities.
The Colonia plant is one of two that PepsiCo operates in Uruguay and employs around 350 people.
The plant plays a significant part in formulating PepsiCo’s beverages, such as Pepsi, 7Up, Mirinda, and Gatorade.
The second plant in Montevideo is a key site for the company’s foods business for over 60 years.
PepsiCo earlier announced that it would invest £1 billion to open another plant in Poland, which would be it's fifth in Poland.
The plant would create 450 new jobs and produce for over 20 European countries. Construction is set for completion by 2025, with plans to become fully carbon-neutral by 2035.
