African Distillers began in April, 1944 as P J Joubert (Bulawayo) Limited. Later in 1946, the company changed its name to African Distillers (Rhodesia) Limited. The company’s main business was the sale of imported spirits, liquors and wines, but with the purchase of a distillery in Mutare, it began production of its own range of spirits in November 1946.
In 1974 African Distillers moved to its present headquarters, the former Gilberts Distilleries, at Stapleford and in the same year the company became directly involved in the production of wine.
Six fully stocked depots around the country at Bulawayo, Harare, Kwekwe, Masvingo, Mutare and Victoria Falls ensure first-class distribution and customer service. The three Cash & Carry Outlets in Harare, Mutare and Bulawayo cater for the cash customers. |
