Mission and Vision
About MGBBC
In the old city of Jericho, close to the Dead Sea, you can find Modern Group (PepsiCo beverage manufacturing) plant that brings smiles to 2.5 million customers of the West Bank area.
The Company was first established in 2015 & owned by three very affluent partners, each bringing vast experience in FMCG trading and distribution.
Initially, the plant included a state of the art SIDEL PET line, but soon the decision was made to invest in a new can line to meet the demand and remain consumer centric. The line was commissioned from the renowned Sidel and launched late in Oct 2020.
With the combined efforts of the Modern group teams and local contractors, the first infrastructure and buildings were finished in 2016 where the first PET production line was operational in 2018, alongside all related water treatment system, fully automated syrup preparation facility and finished goods warehouse.
Currently our facility spreads over 10,000 SQM of land; our distribution fleet consist mainly of 32 modern trucks, alongside external suppliers who supports our distribution activities.
