Heineken N.V. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Dutch multinational brewing company For other uses, see Heineken (disambiguation). Heineken N.V. (<small>Dutch pronunciation:#32;</small>[ink(n)]; at times self- styled as HEINEKEN) is a Dutch multinational brewing company, founded in 1864 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken in Amsterdam. As of 2017, Heineken owns over 165 breweries in more than 70 countries. It produces 250 international, regional, local and speciality beers and ciders and employs approximately 73,000 people. With an annual beer production of 188,300,000 hectolitres (160,500,000#160;US#160;bbl) in 2015, and global revenues of 20.511 billion euro in 2015, Heineken N.V. is the number one brewer in Europe and one of the largest brewers by volume in the world. Heineken’s Dutch breweries are located in Zoeterwoude, ’s-Hertogenbosch and Wijlre. The original brewery in Amsterdam, closed in 1988, is preserved as a museum called Heineken Experience. Since the merger between the two largest brewing empires in the world, Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller, in October 2016, Heineken has been the second-largest brewer in the world.

In 1869 Heineken switched to the use of bottom-fermenting yeast. In 1873 the brewery’s name changed to Heineken’s Bierbrouwerij Maatschappij (HBM), and opened a second brewery in Rotterdam in 1874. In 1886 Dr. H. Elion, a pupil of the French chemist Louis Pasteur, developed the "Heineken A-yeast" in the Heineken laboratory. This yeast is still the key ingredient of Heineken beer. Henry Pierre Heineken[edit] The founder’s son, Henry Pierre Heineken#160;#91;nl#93;, managed the company from 1917 to 1940, and continued involvement with the company until 1951. During his tenure, Heineken developed techniques to maintain consistent beer quality during large-scale pro- duction. After World War I, the company focused more and more on exports. Three days after Pro- hibition ended in the United States, the first Heineken shipment landed in New York. From that day on, Heineken has remained one of the most successful imported beer brands in the United States. Alfred Henry Heineken[edit] Heineken brewery in Zoeterwoude, Netherlands Henry Pierre’s son, Alfred Henry "Freddy" Heineken, started working at the company in 1940, and in 1971 was appointed Chairman 2 of the Executive Board. He was a powerful force behind Heineken’s continued global ex- pansion, and while he retired from the Executive Board in 1989, he maintained involvement with the company until his death in 2002. During this period, Heineken tried to increase its stock price by purchasing competing brew- eries and closing them down. After World War II, many small breweries were bought or closed. In 1968 Heineken merged with its biggest competitor, Amstel, and in 1975 opened a new brewery in Zoeterwoude. The Amstel brewery was closed in 1980, and its production moved to Zoeterwoude and Den Bosch. Present[edit] With the part acquisition of Scottish and Newcastle in 2007/2008 Heineken became the third-largest brewer based on revenues, behind the Belgian-Brazilian AB InBev and the British-South African SAB. Since the merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller in October 2016, Heineken has been the second largest brewer in the world. On 12 January 2010, Heineken International successfully bought the brewery division of Mexican giant FEMSA, and also merged with the company, expanding its reach throughout Latin America. The company will sell its products there through FEMSA, which is the largest bottler and brewery in all of Latin America, and maker of such brands as Dos Equis XX, Bohemia and Sol. FEMSA now owns 20 The FEMSA acquisition is expected to keep Heineken in its strong position by growing its market share in the Latin American markets. FEMSA has a massive distribution network and owns Mexico’s largest convenience store chain OXXO, which has thousands of locations throughout the country. In September 2014, it was announced that Heineken would sell its Mexican packaging busi- ness Empaque to Crown for around $1.23 billion. Also during that month, Heineken revealed it was in talks to sell its Czech operations to Molson Coors.
