On the journey of 148 years of development, an important milestone for SABECO occurred in 2017 when the Ministry of Industry and Trade divested 53.59 per cent of Sabeco shares to Vietnam Beverage Co., Ltd (a subsidiary of ThaiBev).
Since then, SABECO's major shareholder structure has not changed with the two largest shareholders, Vietnam Beverage at 53.59 per cent and the State Capital and Investment Corporation at 36 per cent.
The total annual production capacity at SABECO's 26 factories is about 2.5 billion litres. This year, the company plans to exceed VND40 trillion ($1.7 billion) in net revenue, up 15 per cent, and VND5.78 trillion ($251 million) in after-tax profit, up 5 per cent on-year.
Additionally, the company will buy the ownership of expenses at the SaiGon Binh Tay Beer Group JSC and raise the ownership rate there to 70 per cent.
