Al-Ahram Beverages / Stella Beer

Al-Ahram Beverages Company is a cornerstone of the Egyptian beverage industry, most famous for its flagship brand, Stella. Founded originally in Cairo, the company has a legacy dating back to the late 19th century. Stella beer, often considered the 'national beer of Egypt,' has been manufactured locally in Egyptian breweries for over a century, maintaining a consistent presence in the Middle Eastern market.

In the late 1990s, the company underwent significant privatization and was later acquired by the Dutch brewing giant Heineken N.V. Today, Al-Ahram Beverages functions as a subsidiary of Heineken, producing a wide range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic malt beverages. While it maintains its Egyptian identity and production facilities, the strategic direction and ultimate ownership reside with the Netherlands-based parent company, ensuring international quality standards and distribution capabilities.
