0 China: Grupo Modelo appoints Anheuser-Busch as the Importer of its brands in China

Grupo Modelo, the leader in the production, distribution and sale of beer in Mexico, announced an agreement with its partner Anheuser-Busch to import Modelo’s beers into China as of January 2007, according to Anheuser-Busch press room on December 4th.

The New Contract Allows Grupo Modelo to Leverage A-B’s Solid Distribution Network in China.

Grupo Modelo and Anheuser-Busch have a long history of successful collaboration that began when they partnered in 1993. Modelo is the exclusive importer of Anheuser-Busch’s brands in Mexico, among which Budweiser and Bud Light are notable.

“This new partnership ideally complements the international strategy that Modelo has successfully implemented for several decades. We are very pleased with this association, which offers excellent long-term growth opportunities for Grupo Modelo’s brand portfolio in China, a very important market for our company,” stated Carlos Fernández, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Grupo Modelo.

“The popularity and high quality of Corona Extra make it an excellent complement to our Budweiser and Harbin beers,” said August A. Busch IV, president and CEO of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. “Corona Extra competes in the super-premium segment of the market, which is experiencing strong growth. With our continued success in this segment, and our ...

0 Australia: Foster’s barley costs rise

Foster's Group Ltd. FGL.AX, Australia's top beer and wine maker, expects its grape and barley costs to rise as a result of Australia's drought, but expects to be able to pass most of those costs through to customers, Reuters reported December 6.

Chief Executive Trevor O'Hoy said the company's scale and technology had helped it to prepare for and weather the drought.

"We are very well positioned, so it's not catastrophic," O'Hoy told reporters after speaking at a business lunch.

He said the company's use of aerial photography to predict grape yields and its ability to negotiate discounts with grape and barley suppliers because of its size and reliability as a customer gave it a competitive edge.

"In both cases we will expect higher costs. But, again, I say it's manageable in our case," O'Hoy said.

He reiterated that the company had not been approached by any private equity firms or any other potential suitors, despite takeover speculation that has driven Foster's shares up 26 percent between August and November.

Foster's shares fell 1.5 percent to A$6.43 on Wednesday in a market that was up 0.6 percent.

O'Hoy did not see Foster's as more vulnerable to a takeover now that it has completed its integration of Southcorp, ...
