Brewing news Angola: Brewer Empresa Angolana de Cervejas running one production line only to reduce costs

The deactivation of the first filling line of Angolan beermaker EKA – Empresa Angolana de Cervejas due to the obsolete state of the equipment, which occurred last June, led to production dropping by 50.9% to 27,000 litres per hour, the company’s managing director Marc Mayer was quoted as saying by Macauhub on September 4.

Mayer said that the board of directors had chosen to keep only the second production line operational, which has a maximum capacity of 35,000 litres per hour, as it has lower costs and always has raw materials available from the market. .

Mayer also told the Angop news agency that the replacement of the first line requires an estimated investment of 200 million kwanzas (US$545,000), “which is slow to be executed because the company is experiencing a financial situation that requires consideration in order to avoid possible disruptions to the business portfolio.”

EKA, which is part of French-owned group Castel Angola, is located in Cambambe municipality, Kwanza Norte province, where it produces beer from water, malt, unmalted cereals such as corn and rice, and hops.
