Our History
Proud Beginnings
Established in 1890, La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel, Southeast
Asia's first brewery produced and bottled what would eventually become one of the
bestselling beers in the region. Within the span of a generation, San Miguel Beer
would become an icon among beer drinkers.
By 1914, San Miguel Beer was being exported from its headquarters in Manila to Shanghai,
Hong Kong and Guam. A pioneer in Asia, San Miguel established a brewery in Hong Kong
in 1948, the first local brewer in the crown colony.
Today, San Miguel Beer--the Company's
flagship product--is one of the largest selling beers and among the top 20 beer brands
in the world. While brewing beer is the company's heritage, San Miguel subsequently
branched out into the food and packaging businesses.
From the original cerveza that
first rolled off the bottling line, San Miguel Corporation has since diversified
to produce a wide range of popular beverage, food and packaging products which have--for
over a century--catered to generations of consumers' ever changing tastes.
The Company's
manufacturing operations extend beyond the Philippines to Hong Kong, China, Indonesia,
Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. Its products are exported to major markets around
the world. Continuing a tradition of product quality, San Miguel is capitalizing
on its unique strengths in brands and distribution to weave its products more deeply
into the fabric of everyday life. Not just in the Philippines but in the Asia-Pacific
region.
World Class Partners
San Miguel's partnerships with major international companies
have given the Company access to the latest technologies and skills. Our marketplace
experience, technical expertise, and innovation capabilities, while largely homegrown,
also reflect our long term partnerships with world class players.
San Miguel's joint
venture partners include Hormel Foods Corporation, Yamamura Glass and Fuso Machine
and Mold Manufacturing of Japan. A strategic equity investment in San Miguel by Japan's
leading brewer and global player, Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd. has further enhanced
San Miguel's competitive position in Asia, a region in which it is already well placed.
