Nigerian Breweries Expands Its Horizon: Completes Full Integration of Distell Nigeria
In a major business development, Nigerian Breweries Plc (NB) has successfully completed the 100% integration of Distell Nigeria into its operations — marking a significant milestone in its journey to becoming a “Total Beverage Company.”
The company’s Corporate Affairs Director, Mr. Uzodinma Odenigbo, announced the development in Lagos, revealing that following NB’s full acquisition of Distell Nigeria in March 2025, the firm has now installed a state-of-the-art manufacturing line at its Ibadan brewery dedicated to producing Distell’s popular wines and spirits.
He explained that the newly integrated production line is already operational and now produces iconic Distell brands such as Chamdor and 4th Street, well-known for their premium quality and smooth taste.
“We have now completed the full integration of Distell Nigeria,” Odenigbo said. “This aligns perfectly with our ambition to become a Total Beverage Company—one that goes beyond beer to cater to every consumer preference.”
Why This Matters
The integration represents a major strategic shift for Nigerian Breweries, which has historically dominated the beer market. With Distell’s addition, NB now diversifies its portfolio into wines, spirits, and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages — giving the company a stronger foothold in Nigeria’s fast-growing non-beer segment.
It’s a bold step that positions NB to compete with global beverage giants and capture new consumer markets, especially among younger, urban Nigerians seeking variety and sophistication in their drink choices. ✨
The Bigger Picture
This integration also signals NB’s commitment to innovation and local production, as the new Ibadan facility reduces reliance on imports and supports local employment. The move reinforces NB’s role not only as a market leader but also as a driver of industrial growth in Nigeria’s beverage sector.
Key Takeaway
With Distell Nigeria now fully under its wing, Nigerian Breweries is no longer just about beer — it’s now a diversified beverage powerhouse, ready to pour something for everyone, from cold lagers to fine wines and spirits. ➡️
Cheers to new beginnings and broader horizons for Nigerian Breweries! ✨
