New Turnkey Brewery in Cambodia

The Ziemann Group has received an order to build a turnkey brewery in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The contract for the engineering and construction of a state-of-the-art plant was signed at a formal ceremony on 13 December. The order has been placed by the Chip Mong Group, a family-owned enterprise.

The complete plant is designed for an initial annual output of 500,000 hl. Expansion plans will allow a further increase in the production to 1,000,000 hl and 2,000,000 hl per annum, in line with Cambodia’s fast-growing beer market. The Chip Mong Group has decided in favour of a brewhouse with a Ziemann mash filter and an output of up to 14 brews/day. The cold block, process technology, automation and utilities will also be provided by Ziemann as well as the complete filling plant for bottles, cans and kegs.

The green field plant will carry the name Khmer Brewery and will be built in Choueng Ek, a district of the capital city Phnom Penh. Construction work will begin in January 2010.
