Phoenix Beverages Group (PBG) is proud to announce a significant milestone in its regional expansion, with the acquisition of a controlling 54.4% stake in Seybrew, the Seychelles' leading beverage producer. Effective July 1st, 2025, PBG becomes the primary shareholder of Seybrew, marking a new chapter for both companies.
Established in 1972, Seybrew has long been an iconic name in the Seychelles, deeply rooted in the local culture and economy. Operating previously as a subsidiary of Diageo, Seybrew has built a formidable reputation for quality and market leadership. It is a public limited company, with its shares actively traded on the Seychelles Securities Exchange (MERJ).
Seybrew is synonymous with its flagship product, the much-loved Seybrew Lager, which dominates the local beer market. Beyond its popular beer, the company boasts a comprehensive portfolio that includes a diverse range of soft drinks, refreshing mineral waters, and a selection of spirits produced under Diageo’s license. Over the years, Seybrew has continually innovated, expanding its offerings with successful local brands such as SeyPearl soft drinks and the unique Vann Swet beer.
Furthermore, Seybrew plays a crucial role in supplying the local market with an impressive array of imported Diageo spirits brands, reinforcing its position as a key player in the Seychelles beverage industry.
This strategic acquisition by Phoenix Beverages Group underscores our commitment to growth and strengthening our presence across the Indian Ocean region. We look forward to leveraging our expertise and resources to further enhance Seybrew's success, while continuing to serve the Seychellois community with the high-quality beverages they have come to know and love.
{{--Throughout the years, PhoenixBev has continued its efforts to upgrade its production capacity and capability to meet both the immediate needs of the rapidly changing local and international markets. In the case of the Brewery and the Limonaderie sites, the replacement of the ageing machinery with state-of-the-art installations, together with the required adjustment of production procedures and processes to meet international standards of safe and healthy beverage consumption, is ongoing.
Production activities at PhoenixBev's newer non-carbonated site at Nouvelle France have responded well to the increasing consumer demand for healthier, non-carbonated drinks such as Fuze Tea and 5Alive Pulpy. The forward planning adopted for the setting up of this site has already provided for additional production capacity to meet the expected expansion of activities over the next 10 years. An important factor in the success of the Nouvelle France site is the central computerised system controlling the whole production process. Implementing these international standards and certifications demonstrate that PhoenixBev sites have systematic OH&S controls in place that can reassure our associates at all levels in our consultations and participation in various OH&S platforms.
Committed to being a responsible and innovative producer while also aligning with our sustainability goals, PhoenixBev invested in a micro-craft brewery, known as 'MANAWA Craft Brewery Plant' in Pont Fer, Phoenix.
