Bottling Up Europe

摘要

The impact of PepsiCo's merger with its two largest bottlers extends beyond the shores of the Americas. The European operations of the merged bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas, including the brands they individually owned, now become part of PepsiCo Europe, a division of PepsiCo that was created out of PepsiCo's disparate holdings in Europe just over a year ago.rnThe European business encompasses nearly 900 million consumers in a geography that stretches from the UK in the West to the most eastern point of Russia, Scandanavia in the north to Turkey/Spain in the south. The newly-merged operation employs nearly 43,000 people and includes more than 55 plants.
