Sandora

In 1995, Lithuanian businessmen Ihor Bezzub and Raymondas Tumenas provided start-up capital for the implementation of a business plan to Serhiy Sypko, a lecturer at Mykolaiv University of Shipbuilding. Production started the following year. In 2000, a puree and semifinished product production was launched.

In 2007, one of the most important deals on the FMCG market in Ukraine was concluded, worth US$678 million. PepsiCo acquired the largest juice producer, Sandora. This provided opportunities to develop production in Ukraine and establish the processing of seasonal vegetables and fruits through further investments. In 2008, the production of Lipton Iced Tea beverages began at Sandora's factory in the village of Meshkovo-Pohorilove near Mykolaiv. In 2009–2010, the company started producing Pepsi and 7UP. In 2014, the company launched a snack line for the production of Xpycteam crisps and started producing Mirinda. In 2019, the company's production facilities started producing Lay's crisps.

After the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Pepsi halted the production of Sandora at its facilities in Mykolaiv Oblast due to security reasons. During this time, it was reported by the Mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, that the Sandora factory had been looted and that there needed to be an increase in security. During the ensuing Battle of Mykolaiv, the production facilities of Sandora received a lot of damage due to Russian shelling. Production of Sandora resumed at the end of 2022, but only in Romania and Poland, and not domestically in Ukraine. During this time, the share of the market for Sandora fell as domestic producers like Vitmark and Halitsia became more popular.

Production finally returned domestically in May 2023, but four production lines were transferred from Mykolaiv to Vyshneve in Kyiv Oblast. Production had earlier partially resumed in March 2023. At the time, Sandora confirmed they would gradually restore their full range from before the invasion, like their pomegranate, multivitamin, and cherry varieties, but that it would take some time.
