PepsiCo-Almarai Joint Venture International Dairy and Juice Limited acquired Egyptian dairy and juice company Beyti in 2009. As a result of this acquisition, Almarai shifted part of its UHT milk produced in 0.5- and 1-litre HDPE bottles to SIG liquid brick carton packages of the same sizes. It is expected to continue this shift during the forecast period as it looks to standardise all its production lines in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
