Angola: SABMiller’s local beer production capacity to increase by 60%

The SABMiller group plans to increase production capacity at its N'gola factory in Angola from 820,000 to 1.3 million hectolitres as of February 2011, the sales manager for the southern region, Paulo Rodrigues, was quoted saying by MacauHub on August 20.

According to Rodrigues, SABMiller put a disposable N’gola beer bottle on the market in order to reach channels and sectors that had so far been difficult to access, such as supermarkets, where people go without taking containers to buy the product.

SABMiller manages Coca-Cola Bottling Angola (north, central and southern regions) and N'gola plants.

The group expects to open two more factories at the end of the year, one for soft drinks and another for beer in the Funda area of Cacuaco municipality, in Luanda, which are currently operating on an experimental basis.
