This year, the corporation targets to produce 1.85 billion litres of beer. To achieve this goal, Sabeco’s board of directors is applying synchronous measures to improve the quality of products.
Sabeco currently owns 26 manufacturing plants, 10 trading subsidiaries and 37 branches nationwide. The company has also launched a premium beer titled Saigon Gold for serving Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday and export markets.
