East African Breweries

East African Breweries is a large East African brewing company which owns Kenya Breweries, Uganda Breweries, Central Glass - a glass manufacturer, Kenya Maltings and United Distillers and Vintners (Kenya) Limited.

Kenya Breweries was founded in 1922 by two white settlers, George and Charles Hurst. By 1990, most of the shareholders were Kenyan and the company was very successful.

Tanzania Breweries had been started by Kenya Breweries in the 1930s. After being nationalized in 1967, Tanzania Breweries was poorly managed. However, in 1993 the Tanzanian government entered into a joint venture with South African Breweries Limited to run Tanzania Breweries. South African Breweries is one of the largest and most efficient brewing companies in the world. They turned Tanzania Breweries around with extraordinary speed, almost tripling production in the space of three years.
