The Mozambican market is a very fast growing business for Diageo in Africa, for various reasons. The discoveries of natural resources such as Natural Gas and Coal have contributed to a political stability and high growth of GDP. This has lead Mozambique to a very attractive market for investors all around the world.
We currently operate with 3 different supply sources (BH, Amsterdam and NBL for RTD only). There are plans to build Diageo’s own manufacturing capability in market.
The role will be based at the manufacturing site in Marracuene, +/- 30km outside of Maputo. The manufacturing operation will be bottling spirits and RTDs.
The Mozambican market is undergoing significant economic growth. The mid class population of the country is experiencing an increase of their purchasing power. Also the new investments in the country are bringing expatriates with a high purchasing power. Therefore, the demand for medium and high quality products is expected to grow across the country. The Mozambican region is becoming increasingly attractive to Diageo – as part of the next growth frontier – and to our regional and international competitors. Diageo is therefore pursuing an aggressive growth agenda for the region.
This is a start-up operation and therefore the main complexity arises from the recruitment and capability building required to establish a successful Operation to Diageo’s standards.
