Mr Richard Agyei, the Managing Director of the Kasapreko Company, said the company was poised to take the leadership role in the beverage industry.

He said the company would soon put on the market “Alomo Koolup” and “True Root” which are sugar-free to meet the high demands of customers.

Mr Agyei said this when Master of Business Administration (MBA) students of the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) paid a visit to the company in Accra.

The visit was to afford the students the opportunity to know the operations of the company and also interact with management.

Mr Agyei underscored the need for Ghanaians to cherish what they had and eat what they grew.

He said as a multi-national drink manufacturing company, it produced first class but affordable products, using authentic traditional blends and world class technology in an environmentally responsible manner to satisfy its customers.

Mr Agyei said the company, as part of its corporate social responsibility, had set up Kasapreko Education Foundation which was supporting 19 students up to the university level as well as the National Cardiothoracic Centre.

He said the company, established in 1989, had won many international awards including Activating Brand of the Year 2015, and urged Ghanaians to support indigenous companies to grow and expand their operations by patronising local products.

He said the company was also putting up measures to ensure the safety of the workers.

Professor Matthew Tsamenyi, the Executive Director of CEIBS, who led the students, commended the company for coming out with many products using herbs and also offering employment to the youth.

He charged the students to be innovative so as to set up their own companies.

The company exports its products to Togo, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania among others.
