Pepsi partners with Tejari Jordan to streamline procurement

Pepsi joins a growing number of manufacturers migrating their procurement processes online as part of a cost-efficient solution for sourcing raw materials, equipment, and other business needs.

"Tejari has clearly demonstrated itself to be a successful, cost-effective and simplified platform from which we can satisfy our buying needs across the Middle East. Whether we're looking for raw materials or trucks, uniforms and office supplies, Tejari offers a transparent and regionally-relevant solution to sourcing a wide range of goods from a robust base of suppliers," said Tarek El Sakka, General Manager - Jordan Ice & Aerated Water Co. (Pepsi Co. International Jordan).

"As the number one beverage company in Jordan for more than 43 years, Pepsi continues to maintain the highest standards of quality, taste and service for all our customers. By continuing to source solutions that increase our efficiency, Pepsi can continue to innovate and maintain our competitive market advantage," added El Sakka.

"Pepsi is one of the most respected global brands in Jordan and the confidence that the company's management has demonstrated in online procurement is a strategic boost for Tejari's manufacturing community," said Yazan Hatamleh, Managing Director of Tejari Jordan. "As manufacturing becomes a most robust industry vertical across the Middle East region, Tejari anticipates greater adoption of online trading in that sector."

"While the streamlining of costs in administration and other operational expenses is a key element in companies choosing Tejari's online trading platform, Pepsi's decision to become a member can be attributed as much to the ease of forming strategic partnerships between buyer and seller from Tejari's existing membership." Hatamleh Added

Tejari's continued investment in developing new services maintains the confidence of its thousands of members, including many of the world's leading multi-national brands. Manufacturing is one of the fastest-growing segments within the Tejari marketplace, with companies migrating to online procurement in search of materials and a more streamlined supply chain.
