See above. The phrase starting with "being" provides additional information about Pepsi so it should be put between two commas. However, "being" doesn't really fit in that context. If you remove "being" but keep the commas, it makes sense. Using "being" suggests that the only reason it has expanded into many African countries is that it's a famous beverage company.
Adding additional information by using commas is called "appositive" , such as
Frederick Bishop, the pride of Australia, undertook many war campaigns.
Using "being" gives somehow facts about the person or the object. Am I right.
Will you please explain to me what does "being" mean in the following sentence. Does it mean "because"
Pepsi, company being a famous beverage company, has been expanded into many African countries.
Can I substitute the word "being" with commas like sentence two ?
1-Messi being the best player three times in a row is to feature in a movie.
2-Messi, the best player three times in a row, is to feature in a movie.
