Diageo is the world’s leading premium drinks company, a business built on the principles and foundations laid by the giants of our industry.
Arthur Guinness, Alexander Walker and all those many talented people that followed in their footsteps, cared deeply about the people and businesses they fostered, and the communities in which they operated. Today we stand on the shoulders of these giants and act with the same entrepreneurial spirit.
We are a young company born of an incredible entrepreneurial legacy. The success of Guinness®, Smirnoff®, Johnnie Walker®, Tanqueray® and many more brands led to the formation of our company in 1997. And we only thrive today because of the talent of our people to grow our brands, old and new, and keep them strong.
Meta Abo Brewery Share Company SC (‘Meta Brewery’) was acquired by Diageo in January 2012.
From its brewery near the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, it produces and distributes its flagship national lager brands Meta classic, Meta Premium and Malta Guinness. The acquisition gives Diageo direct access to the Ethiopian beer market and will complement Diageo’s existing premium spirits business in the country. Diageo distributes its premium spirits brands in Ethiopia through third party distributor arrangements. Its principal brands include Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Baileys.
