Accra Brewery Ltd.

Our story is one of resilience and triumph that began when Overseas Breweries Ltd., a Swiss company, purchased a piece of land overlooking Agbogbloshie in Accra. Maybe the company knew the construction of a brewery in then Gold Coast would make it the first of its kind in the West African sub-region; maybe it knew the construction would kick start the country’s manufacturing industry. What they possibly could not have fully conceptualised was the gem of a brewery that would be polished, the tradition that would be nurtured, the bonds that would be forged, and the invaluable moments that would be created decade after decade after decade. The Nathan Institute of Zurich, Switzerland, was contracted to see to the general supervision of all construction works, installation of plant and machinery, and brewery technology. The building contract, meanwhile, was awarded to Turner & Schilling, a local firm who, with the assistance of over 500 workers, completed all the buildings for the official opening. The Governor of the Gold Coast, Sir Shenton Thomas, inaugurated the Brewery, setting us up as the country’s first non-traditional manufacturing company.
