Raising the Bar: Africa's Beer Industry on a Steady Growth Path

Ziemann had already established a strong presence in Africa during the 1930s, with notable references in Egypt, Algeria, and South Africa. In the subsequent decades, the company expanded its reach, adding plants in Nigeria, Uganda, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Liberia, Morocco, and various other countries by the 1960s.

Brewery Excellence Unleashed: Celebrating Collaborations with SNB and Swinkels Family Brewers

One of our notable achievements is our collaboration with Société Nouvelle de Boissons S.A. (SNB), a Swiss/Togolaise Investment Group. SNB entrusted us with the task of building a state-of-the-art brewery in Togo, the country’s second brewery.

Ziemann Holvrieka proudly collaborated with Swinkels Family Brewers – Habesha Brewery on an exceptional brewery project in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia, executed between 2016 and 2017. The project encompassed a state-of-the-art 200 hl Brewhouse with a capacity of 12 brews per day. Ziemann provided comprehensive services, including engineering, integration, and extension of the existing raw material handling system, a cutting-edge brewhouse, the innovative Lauter tun system “LOTUS,” on-/off-site project management, efficient packing and delivery (DAP), installation works, commissioning, advanced automation, and CIP (Cleaning-in-Place) system. This collaboration exemplifies our commitment to delivering tailored solutions to our esteemed clients in the brewing industry.
