Brewery Business Plan

Company Summary

Sedibeng Breweries is a relatively new company providing high quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in the local market. Sedibeng Breweries intends to focus on the brewing process and the brewery itself. The brewery will house four stainless steel vessels whose shiny finish will be highlighted by the flood lights on the ceiling. Interested stakeholders will be able to observe the brewing process during the day and will be offered guided educational tours of the brewing facility.

It will focus initially on providing and satisfying two kinds of markets:

• Corporate Class: This will constitute all those people in middle and top managerial positions who appreciate good quality traditional beer.
