In a strategic move to expand production capacity and diversify its brand portfolio, NBL has allocated an additional N$44 million to enhance its existing packaging lines.

Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) has unveiled its N$337-million wine packaging line. The new facility was officially inaugurated by President Dr Nangolo Mbumba at NBL Head Office in Windhoek.

In a strategic move to expand production capacity and diversify its brand portfolio, NBL has allocated an additional N$44 million to enhance its existing packaging lines. This upgrade will allow the brewery to produce and package popular ciders such as Savanna and Hunters locally for the first time. Additionally, the brewery’s extended warehouse, covering 4,400 sqm, represents an investment of N$56 million.

The wine line project, which commenced in April 2023, was successfully completed ahead of schedule by a dedicated supply team and 19 suppliers, 11 of whom were Namibian with an average of 180 contractors on site.
