Nov 2019 - Only three years
after its launch, Angolan beer brand Luandina won an international gold medal
and, this week, attended the China International Import Expo
(CIIE)�highlighting the brand's global expansion.

�

The medal was handed down by the Monde
Selection, an annual international award based in Brussels dedicated to finding
the world's highest quality products.

�

Luandina, Angola's first 100% native beer brand, won the gold quality label, one of
the four rankings available -- similar to the Michelin-star rating system.

�

The company is owned by Angolan beverage giant
Sodiba, a private venture run by Africa's most successful investor Isabel dos
Santos.

�

Luandina's name comes from a feminization of Angola's capital Luanda, and
received the gold quality award from Monde Selection in Rome earlier this year.

�

On 5 November, dos Santos represented Sodiba at
the CIIE, underlining the global impact Angolan beer is making.

�

Luandina was established in 2016, and started
exporting to China and other countries in 2018.

�

It faced stiff competition in the form of Cuca,
the country most well-known beer brand established by Portugal during its
colonisation of the southern African country.

�

Despite these challenges, Luandina has already
has a gold medal under its belt, and the Chinese market in its sights.
