During 17 years of business in the Western Balkans market, following the acquisition of Marbo Product (established in 1995), PepsiCo has invested in new production lines, capacity expansion, portfolio growth, improved working conditions, employee development, and environmental protection initiatives. PepsiCo Western Balkans, with more than 1,000 employees, has distinguished itself as one of the most significant producers of savory snacks in the region, with brands such as Chipsy, Clipsy, Pardon, and GUD, which have become part of the global PepsiCo portfolio. The local portfolio was expanded in 2018 with the introduction of a world-famous PepsiCo brand: the renowned tortilla chips Doritos. 

The plant in Maglic (Bački Petrovac, Serbia) also produces the globally recognized Lay’s brand, made from locally sourced raw materials for export to several EU markets. The business in Bosnia and Herzegovina operates through three distribution centers. 

Special attention is given to people, their development, and empowerment, and for the 11th consecutive year, the company has been recognized as a Top Employer for its business operations in Serbia.
