Commitment to Excellence and Craftsmanship

Jocelline Kanayuwa, the Quality Assurance Manager at Uganda Breweries, also praised the achievement, attributing it to the top-tier craftsmanship and production processes involved in the making of Uganda Waragi.

"Ensuring that our brands align with global standards is our mandate as a consumer goods player, and this win is a testament to this commitment," she said.

Uganda Waragi’s consistent excellence in production has not only earned recognition but also helped shape a broader understanding of quality in Uganda’s manufacturing sector.

This win is also significant as it comes on the heels of Uganda Breweries’ 25 years of successful beer production, further reassuring consumers of the company’s unwavering commitment to quality.

Beyond the recognition, Uganda Waragi’s gold award also aligns with the company’s ongoing efforts to combat counterfeit alcohol in the Ugandan market.

As part of its commitment to consumer safety, Uganda Breweries has introduced tamper-proof packaging for Uganda Waragi and other locally manufactured products. The company’s proactive measures are ensuring that consumers enjoy authentic, safe products.
