PepsiCo says it will shut down manufacturing operations in Detroit

PepsiCo has announced the shutdown of some of its operations at its Detroit facility. 

According to the company, 84 employees, including 51 operations technicians, will be affected by the changes at the Mack Avenue plant, effective Sept. 27. 

"PepsiCo Beverages U.S. recently announced the shutdown of manufacturing, transport and maintenance operations at our Detroit site. Our warehouse, fleet, delivery, sales and field service teams will continue to operate at this location," said the statement from PepsiCo Beverages U.S. "We are committed to supporting those impacted through this transition, and we are offering pay and benefits to impacted employees." 

A notice about the layoffs was posted to Michigan's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act site.

The State of Michigan routinely posts such notices online after they have been received and processed by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. The details cited in those letters typically include how many people are affected and their job roles. 

PepsiCo manufactures and markets a variety of beverages, including Pepsi, Gatorade and Mountain Dew.
