The largest and most eco-friendly PepsiCo factory in Europe includes a production plant with office facilities and a fully automated high-bay warehouse. It produces Lay’s chips and Doritos nachos. The snacks manufactured at the facility will be distributed to 20 European markets. The investment is valued at over PLN 1 billion.
During the implementation of the production facility, the Ingarden & Ewy architecture studio was responsible for the architectural design, which included the creation of a distinctive façade featuring a heliocentric planetary system inspired by Nicolaus Copernicus. This has become the defining visual element of the factory in Środa Śląska.
It is the most environmentally sustainable, technologically advanced, and innovative PepsiCo facility in the EU. The project and construction process considered environmental aspects — incorporating methods of decarbonization and circular economy practices — enabling the factory to achieve net zero CO₂ emissions by 2035.
The design was developed using BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology.
