HEMA Beverages was set up in Uganda in 2007. The Group dates from 2006.

Africa represents one of the world's most dynamic consumer markets, with growing populations, urbanisation and evolving consumption patterns creating significant opportunities across the beverages sector.

HEMA Beverages is committed to developing its presence across African markets through strong local relationships, effective distribution and products designed around market needs.

Our long-term ambition is to build a scalable, trusted and diversified beverage business with the ability to serve consumers across multiple markets.

We believe sustainable market growth comes from understanding each market individually while maintaining consistent standards across the business.

Distribution

From the line to the shelf.

The company runs its own plant and its own branded fleet, so the chain from production to retailer is short and accountable.
