Manufacturing & Production Capabilities

PepsiCo Foods Vietnam is equipped with high-volume mass production capabilities, supporting large-scale FMCG demand while ensuring consistent product quality across its snack portfolio. The company’s manufacturing operations are designed to serve both the domestic market and regional export needs efficiently.

Currently, PepsiCo Foods Vietnam operates a network of modern manufacturing plants strategically located in Binh Duong, Can Tho, Dong Nai, Bac Ninh, and Ninh Binh. Among these, the Bac Ninh facility stands out as one of the largest snack manufacturing plants in Southeast Asia, underscoring PepsiCo’s strong regional production capacity. A major recent milestone is the commissioning of the PepsiCo Ninh Binh Foods Factory, a US$90 million investment spanning 80,000 m² with an annual production capacity exceeding 25,000 tonnes of snacks.

These facilities are supported by advanced food processing and packaging technologies, including automated production lines, standardized quality control systems, and modern food safety infrastructure. This technological foundation ensures consistency in taste, quality, and packaging integrity at scale.

While PepsiCo Foods Vietnam primarily focuses on producing its own branded products, its manufacturing systems allow for market-specific customization, such as packaging formats, labeling requirements, and product specifications aligned with regulatory and consumer preferences across different export markets.

Quality Control & Food Safety Standards

Food safety is a non-negotiable priority for PepsiCo, and the company’s quality systems are closely aligned with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) - the world’s leading benchmark for food safety management systems.

PepsiCo has publicly committed that nearly all of its company-owned manufacturing facilities worldwide, including food plants in Vietnam, are certified to GFSI-recognized standards such as FSSC 22000, BRCGS, or equivalent schemes. This commitment ensures consistent food safety performance across geographies, regardless of the destination market.

What GFSI Compliance Means in Practice at PepsiCo

PepsiCo’s GFSI-aligned systems cover the entire production lifecycle, including:

• Hazard Analysis & Risk Prevention: Comprehensive identification and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards at every stage of production.
• Strict Process Controls: Standardized operating procedures, validated critical control points (CCPs), and continuous monitoring to prevent contamination and deviations.
• Full Traceability & Recall Readiness: End-to-end traceability systems enabling rapid identification and isolation of raw materials and finished goods when required.
• Supplier Quality Management: PepsiCo requires its ingredient and packaging suppliers to either hold GFSI-recognized certification or successfully pass rigorous PepsiCo supplier audits, extending food safety standards beyond its own facilities.
• Regular Audits & Continuous Improvement: Facilities undergo frequent internal audits, third-party certification audits, and corporate quality reviews to maintain certification and improve performance year after year.

PepsiCo Foods Vietnam is recognized for robust sustainability performance, driven by the pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) global framework that unifies environmental, social, and governance goals:

• Green factory recognition: PepsiCo Foods Vietnam was honored as a Ho Chi Minh City Green Enterprise 2025 for its sustainable production practices and environmental stewardship.
