Beer production and distribution across Nigeria with AB InBev backing
International Breweries is a publicly listed Nigerian brewer producing three major beer brands and two malt beverages under AB InBev ownership. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward SAP (R/3, S/4HANA, PM, MM, PLM) plus manufacturing-specific systems (MES, LIMS, PLC), reflecting a capital-intensive, process-driven operation. Hiring is concentrated in manufacturing and engineering roles, with active projects focused on preventative maintenance, process control automation, and plant reliability — signaling operational maturity but also ongoing pressure to reduce downtime and optimize equipment utilization across production facilities.
