New Guinea Breweries History: South Pacific Brewery
South Pacific Breweries was floated as a company in 1952 by a group of local entrepreneurs in Port Moresby. Three years later, Guinea Brewery was established in Lae by the former General Manager and Brew master of SPB. In 1964, shares in Guinea Brewery were bought by MBL to make it 100% subsidiary of SPB. In 1969, some of the persons associated with the original float of SPB formed a new company and raised capital for the Territory United Brewery Ltd (TUBL) to be located in Port Moresby. TUBL was supported by the Asahi Breweries of Japan. Asahi withdrew a few years later and was replaced by Dan Miguel and Swan Brewery as Major shareholders. Swan Brewery in turn withdrew from the joint venture and, by 1976; San Miguel was left as the major shareholder. In February 1983, San Miguel, after lengthy negotiations in Singapore, agreed to be absorbed by SPB SPB then decided to modernize the original TUBL Brewery at the Gordon’s site and switch production from the original SPB site at Badili. In 1985, SPB bought the Pepsi franchise from Burns Philip, and later built a new soft drink plant at Badili and modernize the Lae plant. At the same time, SPB began importing and marketing package milk and fruit juices from an associated company in Singapore. In 2000, SP Holdings Ltd made the decision to concentrate only on beer business. As a result it ceased producing non-alcoholic beverage including Pepsi and Schweppes. |
