Awards & Recognition

PepsiCo Caleb Bradham Quality & Food Safety Excellence Award

CPF, Inc. – Ayer, MA

PLATINUM – Highest Distinction

2021

The PepsiCo Caleb Bradham Quality & Food Safety Excellence Award is the most prestigious quality recognition in the entire global PepsiCo beverage manufacturing system. Named after Caleb Bradham – the pharmacist who invented Pepsi-Cola in 1893 – this award honors manufacturing sites that demonstrate the highest standards of quality assurance and food safety performance worldwide.

In 2021, CPF, Inc.’s Ayer, MA facility was awarded PLATINUM – the highest possible level. Out of all PepsiCo beverage manufacturing facilities operating around the world, only 10 plants received the Platinum distinction. To put that in perspective: Platinum recipients represent the absolute top tier of a global network spanning hundreds of facilities across dozens of countries.

What Earning Platinum Requires:

“CPF Inc was awarded Platinum for the 2021 PepsiCo Caleb Bradham Quality & Food Safety Excellence. Only 9 other plants in the world received Platinum.”

Co Packer of the Year Award

PepsiCo Co-Packer of the Year Award

Patriot Beverages – Littleton, MA

2021 (Second Win – Very Rare)

PepsiCo – awarded to 1 of 90 co-packing locations across the US

The PepsiCo Co-Packer of the Year Award recognizes the single best co-packing partner in PepsiCo’s entire U.S. network. With 90 co-pack locations across the country competing for this distinction, winning once is a remarkable achievement. Winning it a second time is exceptionally rare — a testament to the consistency, reliability, and production excellence our Patriot Beverages team delivers year after year.

“Patriot Beverages was awarded their second Co-Packer of the Year award in 2021. Receiving the award a second time is exceptionally rare. These awards are presented by PepsiCo to one of 90 co-pack locations in the United States.”

Customer Service Award

PepsiCo Customer Service Award

Patriot Beverages – Littleton, MA

2021 – 1st Time Receiving Award

In addition to winning Co-Packer of the Year, Patriot Beverages also received PepsiCo’s Customer Service Award in 2021 — the first time our Littleton facility has received this honor. This award recognizes outstanding performance in meeting customer needs, fulfillment reliability, and service excellence across the PepsiCo co-pack network.

Winning both the Co-Packer of the Year and Customer Service Award in the same year is a remarkable double distinction — a reflection of a team that not only produces at the highest level but delivers for customers consistently and reliably.

Award-Winning. Growing. And Just Getting Started.

Our awards reflect the dedication of every associate on every shift across both of our facilities. We are proud of what we have built and excited about where we are going.
