History

Main article: South African Breweries The Company was founded in South Africa in 1895 as South African Breweries (SAB): the business operations were mainly limited to southern Africa, where it had established a dominant position in the market, until 1990 when it began investing in Europe. After listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1999[4] to raise capital for acquisitions, the group purchased the Miller Brewing Company in North America from the Altria Group in 2002, and changed its name to SABMiller. Following this, the group s next major acquisition was of a major interest in Bavaria S.A., South America s second largest brewer and owner of the Aguila and Club Colombia brands in 2005.
