Heineken secures distribution license in Myanmar

Posted on : 22 Sep, 2014

 

Myanmar has opened its doors for foreign investors to manufacture locally, but they, in most occasions, do not have any control over the distribution of these goods.

 

But in an exception to this rule, Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC), the country's investment regulator, recently granted Heineken and its subsidiary Asia Pacific Brewery to distribute beer in Myanmar.

 

Legal firm VDB Loi has helped Heineken and its subsidiary to secure the permit that allows the brewers for a nationwide distribution of certain products in Myanmar.

 

This is the first time that Myanmar Investment Commission has allowed a foreign company to distribute its products in Myanmar.

 

This significant milestone is expected to pave the way for others in the FMCG industry to deploy their own distribution network.

 

Mr. Edwin Vanderbruggen, Partner, VDB Loi Myanmar who is one of the key persons behind securing this permit will share more on the legal issues involving distribution and import licenses in Myanmar at the upcoming 2nd Myanmar Consumer Summit in Yangon on 27-28 October, 2014. Plus, Mr. Lester Tan, Managing Director of APB Alliance Brewery Co. Ltd. (Part of the Heineken Company) will join in a Panel Discussion on 'Accessing the Myanmar Market' at the same conference.

 

Contact Ms. Hafizah at hafizah@cmtsp.com.sg or call + 65 6346 9218 for more details.
