0 Romania: URBB invests 1 mil euros to promote Holstein

United Romanian Breweries Bereprod (URBB), the producer of Tuborg and Skol, this year will invest one million euros in promoting the Holsten beer brand, Ziarul Financiar published April 18.

The investment will help sustain the company's growth in sales and consolidate the position of the brand on the market. "In 2006, Holsten witnessed a 70-75% increase in terms of the volume of sales against 2005, to more than 100,000 hectolitres. This year we hope our volume of sales will increase by 50% against 2006, and exceed 150,000 hectolitres," stated Shachar Shaine, chairman of URBB. According to the URBB's chairman, Holsten's volume of sales increased 10% in the first three months of 2007 alone, against the same period last year.

Holsten, a brand positioned on the premium segment of the beer market, was taken over by Carlsberg in 2004, entering URBB's portfolio in the summer of 2005. Romania was the first country, after Germany, to be granted a licence to produce it. "We saw that there was room in our portfolio for Holsten, and decided to take over the brand," said Shaine. Holsten accounts for 10% of the premium beer segment and for 1% of the whole beer market, with the majority ... More Info

0 East Africa: East African Breweries wants to increase market share for Guinness till 60%

Guinness beer, a brand of East African Breweries Ltd (EABL) is pushing for 60% market share volumes by year end, Allafrica reported April 30.

The company early in April 2007 launched a new generation of communication dubbed 'Greatness' last month to further popularise the beer with origins in Ireland among drinkers in Africa.

Ms. Hazel Twesigye, the Guinness brand manager said that her company had moved away from using an extra ordinary man, Michael Powers as an icon to an every day man who, they believed has a drop of 'Greatness' in them.

"We expect to grow our market volumes by about 60%. We are also aware that our volumes will not just grow over night but we believe Greatness will address that," Twesigye said in an interview with one of the local dailies last week.

Uganda Breweries Ltd (UBL), a subsidiary of EABL bottles the Guinness brand in Uganda where over Ush340 million (US$197,101) will spent in media campaigns.

The lucrative beer industry in Uganda is dominated by UBL in Jinja (eastern Uganda) and Nile Breweries Ltd, who both fall among the top tax payers in the country.

To bolster market position in the competitive and very loyal Ugandan beer drinking circles, Guinness has taken ... More Info
