Delta to commission new beer plant

Delta Corporation Limited will commission its Masvingo plant this month and has also moved the commissioning of the Kwekwe plant to a later date due to delays in the delivery of equipment by suppliers.

The two plants were undergoing a $14,5 million apiece upgrade.

The group's corporate secretary Alex Makamure said there had been delays from the suppliers of the equipment, but that has been sorted out.

The upgrade will see Delta producing four million hectoliters annually of beer.

The group invested $78 million in plants upgrade for Chibuku Super and this result in Chibuku Super contributing 60% of the opaque beer.

Since Chibuku Super was introduced in 2014, volumes for Super have increased by over two million hectoliters.
