TANZANIA Breweries Limited (TBL) has increased its volume by approximately 10 percent over the last three years.
According to TBL's
Business Operations Director, Waziri Jemedari, the company has invested
in
excess of 300BN/-in world class manufacturing processes in order to
boost volume growth and enhance its efficiencies.
This investment in
productivity is also clearly evidenced by the fact that all of TBL's
four breweries namely Mbeya, Arusha, Mwanza and Dar es Salaam are
consistently ranked among the top 25 in the world.
According to
Jemedari, the company has invested in alternative energy sources such as
solar in Mbeya plant and steam generated from biomass in Mwanza plant
in order to sustain this growth and is currently exploring the
possibility of installing solar panels at all its sites.
Energy sources
aside, TBL continues to invest in its 1,500-strong workforce in order to
ensure that it is able to deliver on its obligations to customers and
stakeholders.
furthermore, as the
company has grown so too, has its value chain whereas farmers and
suppliers have been equipped with the requisite financial management
skills needed to grow their businesses, said Gareth De Gee TBL's
Procurement and Sustainability Director.
TBL is the reigning
Manufacturer of the Year and Best Listed Company and is licensed to
produce, sell and distribute beers, wines, spirits and non-alcoholic
products in the country.
The company's
extensive portfolio of almost 15 brands includes Tanzania's oldest beer
Safari Lager and Kilimanjaro Lager which is named for the great Mt.
Kilimanjaro.
Tanzanians were in 2018 introduced to Budweiser which continues to be popular among Tanzania's young professional class.
Also, the company
is a major player in the socio-economic development of Tanzania, where
in addition to contributing approximately 3 per cent to the national
budget by 500bn/-in taxes, it seeks to bring to life the global smart
drinking goals through initiatives such as training stakeholders on
Alcohol Behaviour and Communication, Anti-Drunk Driving campaigns which
include advocating for the use of designated drivers and partnering with
