16 May 2024 --- PepsiCo has invested £8 million (US$10.1 million) in its Pipers Crisps manufacturing site located in the UK, to boost production of the popular snack by nearly 80%. The factory will replace existing crisp fryers with new energy-efficient models and install new packaging machines to reduce the site’s greenhouse gas emissions by over 200 metric tons a year, working toward its net zero goal by 2040. The F&B giant will also use the cash influx to upgrade facilities for the factory’s 100 local employees, including improving workspaces and staff changing rooms.
