A little more about the history of Heineken…

 

Heineken was founded in the Netherlands in 1863 and has become one of the world's most famous beverage companies, currently with 250 brands distributed in 192 countries. It has 85,000 employees and 170 breweries worldwide, spread across more than 70 countries.

The company arrived in Brazil in 2010 and has since strengthened its position by establishing its products and acquiring other major alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage brands such as Sol, Kaiser, Bavaria, Amstel, Kirin Ichiban, Schin, Devassa, Água, etc. Schin, Schin Tonic Itubaína and Viva Schin.

Although the Heineken Group only entered Brazil in 2010, it already owns several brands and therefore has a considerable market share.

The main reason for this correlation is that the company acquired the Brazilian company Kirin Holdings SA in 2017, becoming the second largest player in the Brazilian beer market and the largest sales market for Heineken® in the world!

Despite this, Heineken still sees Ambev, one of the world's largest beverage groups, as its absolute leader, which is why the company has been investing heavily in marketing and projects to increase brand awareness in Brazil.

The group has an average of 13,000 employees in Brazil and intends to continue investing in the country. For example, in 2019, in the state of São Paulo alone, the company plans to invest 550 million reais to modernize its factory in São Paulo.
