Sabeco boosts investment in capacity expansion

Sabeco, Vietnam’s top brewer, is implementing a large-scale capacity expansion project starting with three breweries such as Cu Chi, Quang Ngai, Soc Trang in the coming months. The initiative is expected to enable the company to meet increasing market consumption and demand for its products.

Specifically, the project involves upgrading and expanding the breweries’ existing infrastructure; installing new state-of-the art production lines; bringing into use an integrated management system to enhance automated production, help curtail energy consumption, and ensure effective production management.

The expansion project is expected to bolster Sabeco's total production capacity

In parallel with machinery and equipment upgrades, infrastructure including factories, warehouses and auxiliary facilities such as waste-water gathering and treatment systems will also be updated.

Diverse technical initiatives to mitigate the environmental impact of the breweries’ operations have been carefully studied and will be implemented. These include deploying a solar panel system to optimise power usage in production.

Sabeco’s investment in this expansion project will also increase the existing labour capacity at its current breweries. This, in turn, will enable the company to provide more jobs to its host communities and provide more opportunities to supporting industries.

The expansion is expected to bolster the total production capacity, enabling it to meet increasing market demand and contribute more to the provincial government coffers in the areas where its breweries are located.

These factors attest to Sabeco’s commitment to integrating sustainability into its production processes and overall business operations and playing a part in the development of the local communities where the company’s plants operate.

According to Bennett Neo, general director of Sabeco, the project is part of the company’s development trajectory and confirms Sabeco’s continued investment and development in Vietnam.

This investment will complement those previously made by Sabeco in brand development and market expansion, to help maintain its position as Vietnam’s top brewery.

The brewer with the longest heritage in Vietnam, Sabeco is increasing its efforts to bring more value to both consumers and its other stakeholders by ensuring the quality of its products, making continuous investments in green production technologies, and supporting cultural activities as well as long-term community development programmes.

“With this investment, we hope to further strengthen our well-loved brands, bring our products to more Vietnamese consumers, and accelerate our momentum in promoting Vietnam's pride. Additionally, this also affirms our commitment to pursuing sustainable development in Vietnam,” he said.
