ECE Ticari Gayrimenkul Yatırım ve Yönetim Hizmetleri, a subsidiary of PAK Holding, has started construction of a 50,000 square meter logistics warehouse in the Kartepe district of Kocaeli, Türkiye. The facility is planned to serve the regional operations of global food and beverage giant PepsiCo.
In recent years, Kartepe has emerged as a Turkish logistics hub, attracting major supply chain investments thanks to its highway and rail connections, proximity to organized industrial zones and location on the eastern shore of the Sea of Marmara. The new warehouse is expected to reinforce that trend.
Full technical specifications of the project are not yet public, but a food and beverage warehouse of this scale is expected to feature high-bay storage, cold chain capacity and wide truck maneuvering areas. The facility is seen as a meaningful capacity addition to PepsiCo's distribution network in Türkiye.
