History
The first San Miguel Brewery, Inc. was founded as La Fábrica de Cerveza San Miguel in 1890 by Enrique María Barreto under a Spanish Royal Charter that officially permitted the brewing of beer in the Philippines and incorporated as the first San Miguel Brewery, Inc. in 1913. It was renamed San Miguel Corporation in 1963, having grown into one of the Philippines' largest business conglomerates with core interests in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, food, and packaging. The breweries operated as the beer division of San Miguel Corporation until 2007.
The present San Miguel Brewery, Inc. was incorporated on July 26, 2007, as a subsidiary of San Miguel Corporation and the domestic beer business was spun off into San Miguel Brewery, Inc. on October 1, 2007.[3] In 2009, Kirin Holdings Co. Ltd. of Japan acquired 48.3% of San Miguel Brewery, Inc. from SMC for PHP 8.841 per share.[4]
In 2010, San Miguel Brewery, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of San Miguel Brewing International Ltd, enabling San Miguel Brewery, Inc. to achieve full integration of its domestic and international beer businesses. San Miguel Brewing International oversees operations in Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
On November 6, 2017, San Miguel Corporation announced the consolidation of its beverage businesses into San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. through a share swap deal. San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. will[needs update] acquire 7.86 billion shares in San Miguel Brewery, Inc. from SMC. As a result, San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. will own 51% of San Miguel Brewery, Inc. After the consolidation, San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. will be renamed San Miguel Food and Beverage, Inc.[5][6][7]
