The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) held a ribbon cutting ceremony for their new 11,000 square-foot distribution facility on Wednesday, November 4th. The previous 50-year-old building, located at 2595 Holland Road, was demolished and a new modern facility was recently completed.
The facility is strategically located to serve customers in Southampton, Isle of Wight and Suffolk. The Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages, featuring some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands.
They have a long and storied history in Suffolk, dating back to the early 1900s, are strong supporters of community service and have made a lasting impression with many local nonprofit organizations and Suffolk Public Schools.
“We look forward to serving the Suffolk market for another 100 years,” said Ron Lewis, Unit Sales Manager for Pepsi.
“Pepsi’s decision to remain and reinvest in Suffolk is very rewarding for our city,” said Mayor Linda T. Johnson. “Their long-term success is a result of excellent leadership and dedicated employees. We thank them for their commitment to our community and we are pleased to have an industry leader like PBG as a partner in the city of Suffolk.”
