Chairman of Banks DIH, Clifford Reis yesterday disclosed that there was a shortage of Banks Beer on the market during last December due to technical issues with a bottling plant.
As such, he announced at the food and beverage company’s 68th Annual General Meeting held at Thirst Park, Ruimveldt, Georgetown, that a sum of US$21 million had been approved by the board of directors for the development of a new beer bottling plant.
Reis, who has been Banks DIH chairman since the death of founder, Peter D’Aguiar in 1989, said that last Decem-ber, due to technical issues with the beer bottling plant, approximately 150,000 cases of beer were off the local market.
