San Miguel Corp. (SMC) has extensive operations in China with six major facilities manufacturing a wide range of San Miguel products including alcoholic beverages and packaging products.

Today a leading player in China’s beer industry, San Miguel’s commitment to the world’s most dynamic market dates back to 1991, when the Company set up a joint venture brewery in Guangzhou. Yet South China’s familiarity with the brand San Miguel goes further back to 1948, when SMC established its first overseas facility in Hong Kong. Its early success led it to the mainland where its local brands are all market leaders -- Blue Star is the official beer of Baoding City in China’s northern province of Hebei; Dragon Beer, Double Happiness Beer and Guang’s Pineapple Beer are popular in South China. In Hong Kong, San Miguel Beer is known as a local beer brand.

San Miguel markets a growing range of food and packaging products in China’s robust consumer goods market. San Miguel is ready to enter the country’s soft beverage industry through ready-to-drink juice and ice tea drink categories.
