Pepsi Bottling Ventures is bringing water to life
Pepsi Bottling Ventures (PBV) is the largest privately held bottler of PepsiCo products in North America. It is a joint venture owned by PepsiCo and Suntory. As Sabri Kundakcioglu, Vice President of Engineering, explains, the company’s membership in the Japanese Suntory Group means that it also follows the group’s philosophy: “Our corporate vision statement is ‘Mizu To Ikiru’, which literally translates to ‘bringing water to life’. It is meant to remind us that water is the source of all life on Earth. Water is also the most essential ingredient in all of our products, and therefore crucial to a successful, sustainable business.”
