Macfarlanes, LLC said Sept. 28 that it advised Heineken in the
Brassivoire joint venture with distributor of brands CFAO to produce beer in Cote d’Ivoire.
Heineken owns 51 percent of
Brassivoire while CFAO owns a 49-percent stake.
The new brewery will incorporate the newest technologies and be located in the new PK24 industrial zone to the north of the city of Abidjan.
The Macfarlanes team advising Heineken was led by Corporate M&A Partner James Dawson. “This is a significant investment for Heineken and we were very pleased to be able to assist them in securing the joint venture with CFAO which will see them develop their presence in Cote d’Ivoire,” Dawson said.
