The chairman of the New Zealand brewing group, DB Breweries, David Sadley, said at the company’s recent Annual General Meeting that the integration of several of the company’s divisions at its Otahuhu site had put DB in a strong position to reap benefits across all of its operations.
The company gave a positive account of the 2002 fiscal year, with managing director, Brian Blake, reporting that both the Montieth and Heineken brands recorded double-digit growth last year.
Blake also said that the Tui brand had achieved double-digit growth following its launch on the South Island. DB also gained the distribution of the Tiger brand during 2002.
