PepsiCo Announces Layoffs at Maryland Bottling Plant
PepsiCo has announced the layoff of 143 employees at its bottling plant in Hyattsville, Maryland. The cuts affect roles across fleet operations, transport, manufacturing, production warehouse, and other salaried positions. CB Manufacturing, a subsidiary operating as Pepsi Beverages, cited evolving consumer demand and technological changes as reasons for optimizing its network to better serve customers. The company assured that sales and delivery services will remain unaffected by the layoffs. A union contract may allow displaced workers bidding rights for available roles. The move is part of broader restructuring efforts in the U.S., including previous plant closures in California, Florida, New York, and Ireland, as well as workforce reductions in Spain.
