Heineken has finalized a significant investment phase in its French facilities, committing €165 million from 2024 to 2026 at its Mons-en-Barœul and Marseille sites. This investment reflects Heineken's confidence in the French market and aims to enhance its industrial footprint in the country.
The majority of the investment, totaling €118 million, is directed towards the Mons-en-Barœul plant, which is the largest industrial site for Heineken in France. The facility, which employs 350 people and produces two-thirds of Heineken's French volumes, has been upgraded to increase its capacity to 4.5 million hectoliters. The site has also integrated the production of non-alcoholic versions of Desperados and Affligem, showcasing Heineken's commitment to flexibility and innovation.
Looking ahead, Heineken aims to leverage its upgraded facilities to adapt to market changes. The company has not set a specific timeline for achieving the new production capacities but emphasizes the importance of flexibility in offering new recipes. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
