Szentkirályi Magyarország has strengthened its position in Hungary with a new, high-tech factory. As part of the nearly EUR 30 million investment, Pepsi products intended for the domestic market are once again being produced in Hungary.

Szentkirályi Magyarország is owned by the Italian family-owned Mattoni 1873 group, which has a total of 11 production bases in 5 countries in Central and Southern Europe. One of Hungary's leading food industry companies, has made investments worth approximately EUR 40 million in our country in the past ten years. As a result, they have modernized their technologies, expanded their production capacities, and strengthened their environmental responsibility in their existing facilities.

As part of the in total nearly EUR 30 million development a syrup preparation and a wastewater treatment plant were established this time, and the capacities of the existing water treatment plant in Szentkirály were further expanded. The major result of the investment is that after a decade, the majority of Pepsi products intended for the domestic market have been  produced in Hungary again since this spring, at the group's Szentkirály plant. With this step, the company will replace approximately 1.5 million truck kilometers of road transport. 44 jobs have been created due to the investment.

With its large-scale investments, quality products, and continuous innovation, Szentkirályi Hungary ensures that it remains one of the leading food industry companies in Hungary.

Between 2014 and 2024, HIPA guided 287 food industry investments. Together, these projects represent a volume of approximately HUF 1,400 billion and create 9,000 jobs. The production value of the sector, which employs more than 140 thousand people, exceeded HUF 6,500 billion in 2024.
