SABMiller's first Namibian brewery has produced its inaugural brew, with bottles of Carling Black Label rolling off the packaging line, Interactive Investor reported on September 18.
This marks a significant milestone for SABMiller Namibia, which previously imported all its beer from neighbouring South Africa.
Construction of the new $33.3-million, 260,000 hectolitre brewery in Okahandja began in mid-2013 and will be completely finalised at the end of October 2014.
SABMiller's investments in Namibia, and more broadly across the continent, underline the company's belief in the region and its ability to drive long-term growth in Africa. Its commitment in Namibia also aligns with the national government's Vision 2030 of an industrial nation.
