ALCOHOLIC beverages maker African Distillers Limited (Afdis) plans to invest US$5 million to expand its production capacity from 18 million litres to 30 million litres over the next five years.
Afdis said the increased production capacity would enable it to capitalise on the evolving consumer trends and seize emerging market opportunities.
Afdis’ primary business is the manufacture, distribution and marketing of branded wines, spirits, liqueurs and ciders for the Zimbabwean market.
According to Afdis, the investment could reach an annual production capacity of 36 million litres of output per annum, if executed effectively.
The investment will also focus on enhancing local content and fermentation technology, which will likely improve the company’s production processes and product quality.
Additionally, the capital will be used to expand manufacturing capacity and strengthen distribution networks, enabling the company to reach more customers and expand its market presence.
