Who We Are

This is the story of a truly successful company with a rich heritage and a great track record of growth and strong performance.

Guinness Nigeria Plc, a public limited liability company listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was incorporated on 29 April 1950 as a trading company importing Guinness Stout from Dublin. Over the years, it has transformed into a full-fledged manufacturing operation, with core activities spanning brewing, packaging, marketing, and sales. Its product portfolio includes Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Guinness Smooth, Malta Guinness, Smirnoff Ice, Dubic Malt, Orijin Spirit Mixed Drink, Orijin Bitters, Smirnoff Ice Double Black with Guarana, among many others.

In 2018, the Company further expanded its operations with the installation of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) production lines, enabling the production and sale of Malta Guinness and Dubic Malt in PET formats.

Additionally, Guinness Nigeria Plc acquired rights to manufacture locally some of Nigeria’s most successful mainstream spirits within Diageo’s portfolio, including Smirnoff Vodka, Gordon’s Gin and Captain Morgan Rum. Guinness Nigeria also has a strong culture of innovation, as seen in brands like Don Royale Brandy and Don Royale Gin. This diverse and exciting portfolio makes Guinness Nigeria the foremost Total Beverage Alcohol (TBA) business in Nigeria, with the scale and expertise to meet the needs of all consumer segments.

Guided by a clear ambition— to be Nigeria’s PREMIER and MOST CELEBRATED Total Beverage Company—Guinness Nigeria continues to deliver on its commitments to sustainability and responsibility. Its focus spans three key areas: advancing responsible drinking, positively impacting communities, and driving environmental stewardship. Through these initiatives, the company reinforces its role as a champion of responsible consumption and community development.
