PepsiCo Ireland, a global food and beverage leader, announced on Wednesday a new €39M expansion of its manufacturing facilities at its site in Little Island, Co. Cork. This follows the completion of a €127M investment in the same site and the adjacent R&D facilities earlier this year.
The new facility will expand PepsiCo’s Little Island manufacturing capacity, with an investment of €36.6m, for its range of beverage ingredients, support increased demand for existing PepsiCo products and play a key role in bringing PepsiCo’s innovation pipeline to its global customer base.
The expansion also includes a €2.4m investment in a major solar PV installation at the facility, which will significantly reduce the amount of electricity consumed. The solar PV installation is expected to be completed in Q4 2023 and will generate 1820 kW.
