Guinness Nigeria Plc: Crafting a Legacy of Excellence and Community Enrichment
In the realm of iconic African enterprises, Guinness Nigeria Plc, a proud member of the Diageo Company, stands as a beacon of distinction. Renowned globally for its exceptional brands, Guinness Nigeria Plc is not merely a purveyor of fine beverages, but a catalyst for positive societal evolution through investment and active community engagement.
It was a milestone in November, 1963 when the first brewed Guinness outside of the British isles was brewed in Lagos. This pioneering spirit birthed a legacy, inspiring overseas brewing of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout in diverse corners of the world. In 1965, a further testament to the brand’s ascendancy, Guinness Nigeria Plc was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
What initially commenced as a trading enterprise, importing Guinness Stout from Dublin, has seamlessly evolved into a robust manufacturing operation. The core essence of brewing, packaging, marketing, and selling remains firmly anchored, generating a diverse portfolio of esteemed brands that resonate deeply within Nigerian hearts. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Guinness Extra Smooth, Malta Guinness, Malta Guinness Herbs Lite, Harp Lager, Smirnoff Ice, Satzenbrau Lager, Dubic Malt, Snapp, Master’s Choice, Orijin Spirit Mixed Drink, Orijin Bitters, Smirnoff Ice Double Black with Guarana, Guinness Africa Special, Orijin Zero, Tappers, and Royal Kingdom Lager paint a vibrant tapestry of excellence and variety.
In a decisive move that underscored its commitment to elevate experiences, Guinness Nigeria Plc acquired the rights to import, market, distribute, and sell Diageo plc’s International Premium Spirit brands within Nigeria. With effect from January 1st, 2016, the company became the exclusive custodian of iconic names like Baileys, Smirnoff, Gordon’s, Captain Morgan, Tanqueray, Ciroc, and the Johnnie Walker range.
Embedded within Guinness Nigeria Plc’s ethos is a resolute dedication to sustainability, recognizing the profound impact it wields on society. Guinness Nigeria Plc’s indomitable spirit is not confined to a singular moment but is a testament to enduring excellence.
