  • Castel Takes Control of Guinness Ghana in Strategic Majority Stake Deal

Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC (GGB PLC) has formally completed a landmark transition in ownership, with France-based beverage conglomerate Castel Group acquiring Diageo’s 80.4% majority stake in the Ghanaian brewer. The deal marks a strategic pivot in the West African beverage landscape, ushering in a new era of operational leadership and regional integration for Guinness Ghana.

The acquisition, announced following successful regulatory approvals, sees Castel assume majority control of the Accra-listed brewer, one of Ghana’s oldest and most prominent beverage companies. At the same time, Diageo retains brand ownership of Guinness and other proprietary labels. These will continue to be produced locally under long-term licensing and royalty agreements, according to a joint statement issued by the parties on Thursday.

“This transition affirms Castel’s belief in Ghana’s long-term economic potential,” said Gregory Clerc, Group CEO of Castel. “We are committed to enhancing Guinness Ghana’s operations, empowering its teams, and building on its strong foundation.”

The deal underscores Castel’s expansion ambitions in Africa, adding Ghana as its 22nd market across the continent. Castel, which boasts a network of over 640,000 points of sale and employs more than 40,000 people across Africa, is now poised to integrate Guinness Ghana into its vast distribution system — a move analysts expect could bolster efficiencies and deepen market penetration in the sub-region.

Meanwhile, Diageo’s decision to divest aligns with its broader strategy to adopt a “flexible, asset-light” beer operating model, freeing the UK-based multinational to concentrate on brand building and innovation while outsourcing production and market operations to capable local partners.

Under the new ownership structure, Guinness Ghana will continue to produce and distribute Diageo-owned brands like Guinness, Malta Guinness, and Smirnoff Ice. Additionally, Diageo’s international premium spirits portfolio will remain available in Ghana through a separate distribution agreement.

The company has assured stakeholders that there will be no disruption to operations, staff contracts, or consumer relationships. “Customer and partner relationships will continue seamlessly, with a strong commitment to maintaining the high standards our consumers expect,” the statement read. The company also confirmed it will remain listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.

Market watchers say the transition could mark a watershed moment for Ghana’s manufacturing sector and investor confidence. Castel’s deep roots in the continent and long-standing experience in operating under diverse regulatory environments may prove crucial in sustaining Guinness Ghana’s competitive edge in an increasingly saturated market.

The move may also provide a fillip to local employment and supply chain networks. Castel has emphasized its commitment to investing in people and “nurturing local capability”,  a message that could resonate with policymakers and stakeholders concerned about industrial sustainability and job creation.

With the deal concluded, attention now turns to how Castel will navigate Ghana’s shifting economic terrain, marked by rising production costs, currency pressures, and changing consumer preferences. Industry observers note that Guinness Ghana’s ability to innovate and remain relevant under Castel’s stewardship will be critical to the long-term success of the transition.
