The production line is considered the most automated in PepsiCo’s portfolio in Europe.

“The new line can produce approximately 1 million bottles per day, simultaneously consuming 30% less energy than a conventional line,” said Radu Berevoescu, General Manager & Senior Commercial Director East Balkans, PepsiCo.

Additionally, the company says, the new line produces 60% more beverages per unit of time, using 20% fewer CO2 emissions and reducing water consumption by 30% per liter of beverage produced. At the same time, it contributes to a decrease in the amount of plastic used by approximately 30 tons per year.

The new production line at the Dragomirești factory is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, fully integrated into the automated warehouse flow with the help of robot guidance for handling and storing pallets. This ensures a fully automated process, from bottling to loading onto trucks, eliminating the need for human intervention.
