PepsiCo Purchase

In response to a decline in the census of dairy cattle in Russia, the company spent US$7 mm in 1999 to modernize its suppliers' milking and refrigeration equipment, using state-of-the art Swedish technology.
Wimm Bill Dann holds a 34% share in all dairy products in Russia, and a 20% share of the fruit drink market.
