Brewery News

0 China & Japan: Kirin is to double capacity in China, the world’s largest beer market

Kirin Brewery Company, Limited (“Kirin”), Japan's second-largest beer brewer, announced on November 24 plans to construct a new brewery through Group company Zhuhai Kirin President Brewery Co., Ltd. (“Zhuhai Kirin Brewery”), doubling its production capacity in Zhuhai City. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2006, for completion in June 2007.

The Tokyo-based brewer currently owns 60% of Zhuhai Kirin President Brewery Co, a venture established in 1996, jointly with its Taiwanese partner Uni-President Enterprises Corp to principally serve southern China.

At the same time, Kirin will commence preparations for Kirin (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Kirin’s holding company in China, to acquire all of the equity held in Zhuhai Kirin Brewery by joint investment partner Uni-President Enterprises Corp. (Tainan Hsien, Taiwan, Republic of China), and make Zhuhai Kirin Brewery a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirin. Basic agreement on the acquisition of shares was reached on November 23, 2005. The transfer of shares is scheduled to take place by the end of the year, at which point the company name will also change to Kirin Brewery (Zhuhai) Company, Limited. The performance of Zhuhai Kirin Brewery to date has been highly rated inside and outside the industry, with the Company receiving a 2004 award ...

0 Belgium: InBev closes consultation process and announces its decision to reduce employee-base at global headquarters

Having completed consultation with the social partners, as well as consultation of each of the global functions, InBev S.A. communicated on November 23 its decision to reduce the number of positions at its global headquarters (GHQ) in Leuven, Belgium.

The new organization aims to create clear responsibilities and to eliminate overlapping or duplicated processes and activities across functions, as well as across Zones and GHQ, taking into account the right match of employee profiles with the new organizational requirements.

This decision will lead to a collective dismissal of maximum 45 people, on a current total of about 400 positions.

InBev will now discuss the modalities on the social plan and will start discussions with all concerned employees.

Total estimated one-off costs relating to this restructuring are approximately 10 million EUR. The yearly recurring EBITDA improvement is expected to be around 9 million EUR.

InBev is a publicly traded company based in Leuven, Belgium. The company's origins date back to 1366, and today it is the leading global brewer by volume. InBev’s strategy is to strengthen its local platforms by building significant positions in the world's major beer markets through organic growth, world-class efficiency, targeted acquisitions, and by putting consumers first. InBev has ...

0 UK: The government allows pubs to apply for a licence to serve alcohol all day and night

On Thursday, November 24, the government implemented the biggest change in UK drinking since World War I, allowing pubs to apply for a licence to serve alcohol all day and night. Opponents say the rules will increase alcoholism and crime. Blair says the new laws will make towns safer and drinking more measured.

A spokeswoman for London's Scotland Yard said they had seen no increase in alcohol-related violence after new licensing laws came into effect at midnight on Wednesday, according to Reuters. "Most people tend to go out at the end of the week and over the weekend though, not on a Wednesday night, so we'll just have to watch this space and see what happens," she said.

The government has abolished the 11 p.m. closing time observed by most pubs since World War One in a bid to tackle the country's binge drinking problem, where people consume large amounts of alcohol in a short space of time.

Proponents of the new laws, that will allow pubs to serve alcohol in some cases up to 24 hours a day, say it will usher in more civilised drinking habits like those of France or Spain.

The race against the 11 p.m. closing bell encourages Britons ...
