ood and beverage maker PepsiCo Indonesia will begin producing snacks at its new factory in Cikarang, West Java, in the first quarter of 2025.
The local arm of United States-based PepsiCo had committed itself to building the snack factory back in 2023, with investment estimated at US$200 million over a 10-year period.
The site will manufacture the company’s flagship snacks, including Lays, Cheetos and Doritos for the domestic market, with plans for gradual exports to other ASEAN countries.
“We hope to start operations early next year to produce Lays, Cheetos and Doritos,” said Gabrielle Angriani Johny, director of government affairs and corporate communications at PepsiCo Indonesia, as quoted by Bisnis.com.

PepsiCo’s new factory marks a re-entry into Indonesia’s snack market after the company ceased operations in 2021 following the end of a 30-year joint venture between PepsiCo and domestic food giant PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur.
The firm also discontinued its carbonated drinks after its expiration of the contract with PT Anugerah Indofood Barokah Makmur (AIBM), the entity holding the license for Pepsi's production, sale and distribution in the country during that period.
