INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES PLC.

International Breweries Plc, a prominent Nigerian beverage company, was incorporated as a private limited liability company on December 22, 1971, by its founder, Dr. Lawrence Omole, and his associates. The company began commercial production in December 1978 with its flagship product, Trophy Lager, starting with an initial capacity of 200,000 hectolitres per annum. Over the years, it expanded its brewing capacity and became a public limited liability company, listing on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in April 1995. The company has evolved through strategic alliances and mergers, including significant investment and operational management by SABMiller in 2012, and later, a merger in 2017 with Intafact Beverages Limited and Pabod Breweries Limited, which further consolidated its position within the Nigerian market and integrated it into the global Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) family. Today, International Breweries Plc focuses on the brewing, packaging, and marketing of a diverse portfolio of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Its core products include popular beer brands like Trophy Lager, Hero Lager, Budweiser, Eagle Lager, and Castle Lite, alongside non-alcoholic malt drinks such as Betamalt and Grand Malt. The company primarily serves the Nigerian market, operating multiple brewing and bottling plants across various states, including Ilesa, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, and Ogun State, with its corporate headquarters located in Lagos. This widespread operational footprint enables it to distribute its products across wider urban areas through a network of depots, catering to a broad consumer base within Nigeria.
