Guinness Nigeria spends N 55 Billion on Production Expansion, Creates 200 New Jobs

By on March 6, 2012

Guinness Nigeria has disclosed that it has invested N 55 billion in order to expand its production capacity in Ogba, Lagos and Benin.

Speaking on the development during a tour of its new facilities in Lagos, Harrison Omomogho said, “This expansion is a great achievement for us at Guinness Nigeria. The new plant is fully automated, attesting to the quality of products and is backed by an equally excellent workforce. The increased demand for our iconic brands such as Guinness and Harp, requires us to invest in our breweries and infrastructure. We are delighted that our company is creating a significant number of jobs for Nigerians upon completion of the project,’’ Alli said. He further noted that the expansion is doubling the company’s capacity from 3.5 million to 7.5 million hectolitres, to meet the growing demand for its products.

‘‘The factory is fitted with some of the best production, packaging and storage facilities adding with effluent treatment facilities which are some of the best in the industry, making by-products and wastes from the factory harmless to the environment.’’

The expansion is expected to create at least 200 new full time jobs.
