Feb 18 , 2023


Meta Abo Brewery's expansion with over half a billion Birr investment was launched last week by BGI Ethiopia. The investment is expected to reequip, renovate and expand the Brewery, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Herve Milhade, disclosed at a press conference held at the factory’s plant in Sebeta. BGI invested in manufacturing equipment, including a heavy-duty generator with a three-megawatt capacity, with the goal of making Meta's production capacity 30 million litres a month. Established in 1998 as a state-owned Brewery, the company acquired by the French interest in the 2010s received approval to add Meta Abo Beer to its portfolio a month ago. Under Groupé Castel's large-scale brewing and beverage production wing that operates internationally in more than 53 countries, BGI has hired 1500 people in Sebeta.
