eineken Ethiopia is taking its production to the next level with a new $150m greenfield brewery, which will add 1.5 million hectolitres capacity and complement its established facilities at Harar and Bedele.

Opening later this year, the new greenfield brewery near the outskirts of Addis Ababa will create new jobs and new opportunities in the region, and increase the availability of the key brands Bedele Special, Bedele, Harar, Hakim Stout and Sofi Malt, while also producing a variety of Heineken global brand’s portfolio.

Alongside this, the company’s existing facilities at Harar and Bedele are being upgraded at a cost of $65m, as Heineken seeks to expand its reach and production.

Corporate Relations Manager Nebat Sukker said: “We are making good progress with the construction currently taking place and the new greenfield brewery will be operational by the end of this year.

“Our capacity is growing from 600,000 hectolitres in 2011 to roughly 2.4 million hectolitres in 2015, and can grow further depending on our needs.”

Ethiopia has become a key location for Heineken in Africa as a developing and growing market. A population of 90 million makes it the continent’s second most populated country, and its 4.297 million hectolitre beer market (2012 figures, source Canadian) has grown double-digits over the last years.

Long history The latest investment displays Heineken’s longterm commitment, and also represents the latest phase of the Dutch brewer’s long African history dating back more than a century.

In 1900 the company was already exporting beer to various African countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone; the first brewery in DRC was established in 1923 and it continued to expand across the continent.

Taking a major step into Ethiopia in 2011, Heineken acquired two breweries from the government for a combined $163m: the facilities which are currently being modernised.

Sukker said: “We are transforming the two companies that we bought from the government from more regional players to national players and the new greenfield brewery is an important element in this plan.

“Our capacity is growing from 600,000 hectolitres in 2011 to roughly 2.4 million hectolitres in 2015, and can grow further depending on our needs” – Nebat Sukker, Corporate Relations Manager

HEINEKEN IN ETHIOPIA by the current expansion, Heineken was keen to implement a strategy that would uplift communities at the same time.

It partnered with the ATA (Agricultural Transformation Agency) and the EIAR (Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research) for a four-year programme named CREATE (Community Revenue Enhancement through Technology Extension in Ethiopia).

The company and the Netherlands government committed to invest $2.72 million between 2013 and 2018 to increase food security, improve the livelihoods of smallholder famers and reduce reliance on imports by developing local barley production and connecting farmers to the Heineken Ethiopia supply chain.

By 2018, CREATE will have increased direct revenues for 20,000 smallholder farmer families; created 5,000 MT of additional barley for households or the local food market; and 10,000 hectares of land will be under improved malt barley management practices, increasing yields by using better seeds and more adapted farming techniques.

Heineken subsidiaries’ dependence on imported products will also be reduced by replacing an additional 20,000 MT of imported barley with locally produced barley.

Another Private Public Partnership (PPP) is the Sustainable Water Sources Harar (SWSH), signed last year with the Harar Regional State, Vitens Evides International B.V. and other institutions to

eineken recently chose KHS as a reliable partner for Africa installing several KHS lines and extensions. The installed lines are located in Pointe-Noire (returnable glass line and syrup room), Kinshasa, Kisangani (partial returnable glass line) and there is a mixer and alcohol storage plant in Ijebu Ode. Further projects will be realized together in the very near future based on the common partnership to ensure Heineken’s growth concept in the region.

Heineken is putting its trust in KHS labeling technology with up to 80,000 bph also in Nigeria by ordering 3 new modular labeling machines.

This machine technology offers

Heineken breweries a high level of flexibility and future security to cover all possible label decorations. With the KHS Innoket SE modular labeler all modules are interchangeable in the range of cold glue, pressure sensitive and roll-fed modules.

The patented modular bottle orientation camera system enables Heineken to produce its containers with outstanding orientation results.

One of the latest projects between KHS and Heineken is the implementation of a KEG filling line at the new brewery set-up in Kilinto, Ethiopia. The capability of producing/filling all types of container makes the position of KHS unique in the market.
