Uruguay: AmBev is looking to increase its production in Uruguay investing US$12 million in its country’s operations.
AmBev is to spend $5 million to expand and modernize its Uruguayan brewer Cerveceria y Malteria Paysandu (Cympay), based 380 km from Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Modernization work at Cympay will begin within the next two weeks and will create about 130 jobs.

Some other $4.7 million will be invested by AmBev in barley purchasing for beer production. Following the expansion, barley production at the plant will increase to 130,000 tonnes from the current 95,000 tonnes.
