SABMiller has expanded rapidly from its South African origins, acquiring local brands and brewing operations in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Founded in South Africa in 1895, the operations of South African Breweries (SAB) were mainly limited to southern Africa until 1990, where it had established a dominant position in the market.

After listing on the London Stock Exchange in 1999 to raise capital for acquisitions, the group purchased the Miller Brewing Company in North America from Altria Inc, changing its name to SABMiller.

Global operations SABMiller has grown from its original South African base into a global company with operations in both developed markets and in emerging economies such as Eastern Europe, China and India.
