The company boasts famous locally brewed brands, such as Serengeti Premium Lager, Tusker Lager, Tusker Malt Lager, Pilsner Lager, Senator just to name a few. The spirits folder is filled with world-class brands from abroad – including Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Baileys, J&B and Gordon’s.

Dimensions

Market Complexity:

SBL operates in a competitive environment and in a vast geography. The main player in the beer industry is Tanzania Breweries Ltd. (TBL), a subsidiary of SABMiller, who until recently were a third party manufacturer of EABL brands Tusker, Pilsner and Guinness. As a result of the cessation of the agreement between TBL and EABL, there is heightened competitive activity in that market.
Inflation rates remain high in Tanzania (7.5% expected in F11) and average income per capita is less than 1 USD per day. The GDP growth is estimated at 6.4% and is expected to grow to 7.1% as investment, trade and tourism pick up. There is growing consumer affluence and consumerism, giving rise to greater opportunities in our product categories.
Leadership Responsibilities:

Manage a team of electrical and utilities engineers directly, as well as manage the operators reporting into them indirectly.

To direct, co-ordinate and provide leadership for the performance of the overall Engineering function within Operations team and SBL Site Facilities.
