Owerri - The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Ltd. has
commenced plans to establish a mega production facility
in Okigwe, Imo.
The Head of Public Affairs and Communication, Uzo
Odenigbo, disclosed this to newsmen in Owerri on
Wednesday.
Odenigbo said that the NBC was currently executing an
Accelerated Investment Plan aimed at doubling production
capacity by 2020.
He said that while some of their plants in Nigeria were
being upgraded, a new plant would be established in
Okigwe, Imo
He said that the existing operations in Imo State would be
significantly enhanced, hence the need to drive
"momentous investment into its operations and site a
world-class, state-of-the-art factory in Okigwe."

"When completed, the facility will be the biggest NBC
manufacturing and warehouse site in the country,
supporting other existing production lines to deliver more
to yearning customers and dealers in the Eastern part of
the country and beyond in an environmentally sustainable
way."


"Demand for our products is high, and in a bid to meet up
with the sales projection trajectory in a very competitive
environment, more production lines will be installed, most
of which will be in our new Okigwe mega production
facility," he said.


He also revealed that the company had been supporting
the socio-economic lives of its stakeholders, providing
employment opportunities, improving livelihood and
economically empowering communities where they
operate.


He added that the company was also partnering with
communities on its shared values of youth development
and women empowerment.

"In his drive we are collaborating with state governments
to support female entrepreneurship with trade asset
financing and business training for women
entrepreneurs."

Will be glad if get done

One of the few times Abagworo makes sense. Even chinology will agree.

chinology. come here opportunity. abagoro is lying again. like the shell gas plant

The east is definitely the "drink manufacturing center" of Nigeria .
Enugu - Ama Breweries, the largest in WA.
Onitsha - Sabmiller
Aba - Plenty, plus glassforce, largest producer of glass bottles.
Etc Etc

Aba equally has largest sorghum malt plant in the world and largest can manufacturing plant in Africa. The game is that all these breweries in the East get supplies from the Aba plants.

I am glad what I always argued is gradually coming to pass in a short time. Industries are gradually coming to Imo State in a big way. If we check the investments that are pouring into the State now, it might amount to more than 4billion Dollars.

Finally there is no reason this should not be on the front page.

Is the Epicenter of manufacturing shifting to the east.
I once posted that the gdp of the former east might have overtaken other regions. This is gradually being confirmed with the mega Outfits and factories coming to the east.
I don't Know the choice of okigwe though. Could it be accessibility to other states or availability of land, power etc

Hmmm, I saw lot of breweries last time I visited aba, even Guinness.

I think they already had a plant at Okigwe which they acquired from Limca bottling Company. That might have informed their decision to site this one in Okigwe.

the amala faces won't like this oo

Coming from an insider, it going to be not just a mega plant but most modernize.
