Leading manufacturer of alcoholic and non-alco­holic beverages in Ghana, Kasapreko Company Lim­ited has expanded its presence to Kenya.

The expansion of the com­pany, which currently generates annual revenue exceeding $35 million, was facilitated by Canary International Trading Compa­ny Limited, a subsidiary of the Canary Group of Companies specialising in food and beverage distribution.

Mr. Francis Holly Adzah, International Business Devel­opment Director, Kasapreko Company Limited, encouraged Kenyans and the East African community to embrace Ghana­ian heritage by experiencing the diverse array of beverages offered by the company.

He said Kasapreko had lever­aged research and development, incorporating cutting-edge tech­nology with local and traditional recipes in the production process.
