When put into operation, the factory will be PepsiCo Foods' production center in Vietnam, with an annual capacity of more than 20,000 tons of snacks, creating more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs.
On August 3, PepsiCo Foods Vietnam Company Limited (PepsiCo Foods Vietnam) started construction of a modern food production factory in Ha Nam province.
The project has a total investment of 90 million USD, a total area of 8 hectares, applying leading advanced technologies, strongly implementing PepsiCo's sustainable development strategy.
Specifically, the factory uses renewable energy, including a roof equipped with solar panels and a biomass system that utilizes local agricultural waste to generate electricity. This renewable energy source is expected to ensure sufficient production for the factory. Thanks to that, PepsiCo Foods significantly reduces carbon emissions, minimizing the impact on the environment.
