Adie Broswon Breweries (ABB), a division of The Adie Broswon Group, has entered a long-term manufacturing arrangement with United Breweries Limited (UBL). The deal, announced on July 14, 2026 in New Delhi, leverages ABB’s 12 million-case brewing facility to support large-scale brewing requirements in North India, The Whiskey Ways reported.

The partnership strengthens ABB’s role in the region’s brewing and manufacturing ecosystem.

Its brewing facility is described as one of the region’s largest and is powered by German brewing technology from Ziemann.

In FY2025–26, the facility crossed its highest-ever annual production milestone of more than five million cases.

ABB says the plant operates entirely on renewable-energy-powered systems. The facility also maintains FSSC 22000 and QMS-certified manufacturing standards.

According to ABB, this reflects “its focus on quality, operational consistency and sustainable manufacturing.”

The company positioned the arrangement within a broader industry shift.

“As India’s beer market continues to evolve, brewers are increasingly leveraging specialised manufacturing arrangements to optimise regional production networks, improve asset utilisation and strengthen supply resilience,” the company said.

It added that large-scale facilities “with advanced technology, globally certified quality systems and operational flexibility are playing an increasingly important role in supporting the industry’s next phase of growth.”

ABB described the UBL agreement as evidence of “the growing importance of manufacturing excellence, quality assurance and scale in India’s brewing industry.”

The company said the deal “reinforces ABB’s credentials as a trusted manufacturing partner with the infrastructure and capabilities to support leading national beer brands.”

United Breweries is India’s largest beer producer and the maker of Kingfisher, the country’s best-selling beer brand. The company has been majority-owned by Dutch brewing giant Heineken since 2021.

India’s beer market is one of the fastest-growing in the world, driven by a young population, rising disposable incomes and gradual regulatory reform across individual states.

Contract and third-party manufacturing arrangements are increasingly common in the sector, allowing major brewers to expand regional capacity without significant capital outlay.

“Backed by advanced brewing technology, renewable-energy-powered operations, globally certified quality systems and large-scale brewing capability,” ABB said it “continues to play an important role in India’s brewing and manufacturing ecosystem, supporting the evolving requirements of leading beverage companies.”
