Classification:

Manufacturer (in the broader sense of the supply chain owner and concentrate supplier)

Explanation:

While PEPSI-COLA INTERNATIONAL PVT. LTD. itself does not directly operate the physical bottling plants (factories) that produce the final packaged beverages (this is done by its licensed independent franchise bottlers), it is fundamentally involved in the manufacturing process. The company supplies the essential concentrate (a key raw material) to these bottlers, owns the brand, manages the formulas, and oversees the entire production and quality control system for PepsiCo products in Pakistan. Therefore, it is not a trading company that merely buys and sells finished goods. Instead, it is the corporate entity that enables, directs, and controls the manufacturing of PepsiCo's beverages within the country, making it an integral part of the manufacturing supply chain.
