Namibia Breweries Ltd. (NBS.WH) said Thursday it has granted a
unit of U.K. drinks company Diageo PLC (DEO) the right to brew and
distribute Windhoek Lager and Windhoek Light in most markets
globally.
The agreement, which is for an initial 10 years, creates a new
royalty stream and will see the launch of the beers into new
international markets, the Windhoek-based company said.
The licensing agreement excludes certain African markets,
including South Africa and Namibia, and Namibia Breweries said that
in certain southern African countries the two companies would
combine their distribution networks with Diageo initially taking
control of the combined product portfolios.
Namibian Breweries produces a range of beers, liqueurs, soft
drinks and juices.
