\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1732″][vc_column_text]Vasari is a leading frontier and emerging markets alcoholic beverage investor and RMB, a leading pan-African investment bank, acted as sole mandated lead arranger and funder for the latest deal.<\/p>\n

Led by Vivian Imerman, Vasari has more than 40 years\u2019 experience operating market-leading consumer goods companies across emerging and developed markets including Scottish distiller Whyte & Mackay.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past six years we have been involved in the deployment of more than US$250m in capital investment to develop our frontier and emerging markets beverage strategy,\u201d said Imerman.<\/p>\n

\u201cVasari Beverages has a highly activist investment approach and seeks to build long term sustainable value. This capital injection is a step forward in pursuing our investment strategy across compelling opportunities in our target regions.”<\/p>\n

Vasari owns 98% of the controlling offshore company of Dashen Brewery, one of Ethiopia\u2019s largest breweries, which will use some of the capital raised by Vasari to double total production capacity to 5m hectolitres.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”arrowLink” css=”.vc_custom_1561723127686{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]View Original Article<\/a>
