Tingyi And PepsiCo Open New Beverage Plant In China

The facility was built in accordance with criteria set by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the world's leading green building standard. The technologies installed in the facility are expected to reduce energy consumption by 29 percent and water usage by 20 percent compared to the standard beverage plants in China, which has the dual benefit of reducing operating costs and achieving important environmental objectives.

The Tingyi-PepsiCo system now includes four LEED-certified plants in China, with Zhengzhou joining beverage manufacturing facilities in Chongqing, Nanchang, and Kunming.

PepsiCo and Tingyi completed their strategic beverage alliance on March 31, 2012.  The alliance provides Chinese consumers with several of the country's most popular beverage products, including: Pepsi-Cola, China's top-selling cola; Mirinda, China's top-selling flavored carbonated soft drink; Gatorade, one of China's top-selling sports drinks; China's top-selling tea and water brands, sold under the Master Kong brand name; and China's largest juice portfolio.

PepsiCo's expansion in China is part of the company's overall plan to drive growth in emerging and developing markets around the world. PepsiCo nearly tripled its business in emerging and developing markets from $8 billion in annual revenue in 2006 to $22 billion in 2011.
