Ghana: The Accra Brewery Limited buys a plant to boost production capacity

The Accra Brewery Limited (ABL), one of the largest and leading breweries in Ghana, has acquired a 25 million-dollar plant to boost the production of varieties of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, The Ghana News Agency reported on January 31.

The plant has the capacity to produce over 40,000 bottles of beverages daily.

Speaking to the media in Accra on January 31 after a familiarisation tour at the facility, Ms Adowoa Arthur, ABL Legal and Corporate Affairs Director, said the company would inaugurate the equipment by mid-year to augment its operations.

The tour was also to afford journalists the opportunity to interact with management and understand the operations of ABL, now a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch (AB) InBev, the world’s leading brewer.

Ms Arthur explained that the new plant gives the company the operational ability to introduce more brands to satisfy consumers.

According to her, the new facility has modern robotics for cleaning bottles, designing and labelling products among others.

“With the new equipment, we are able to increase our production levels to meet the demand of our consumers,” she added.

She said under the new ownership ABL was more focused and more determined than before to be the preferred beverage company in Ghana.
