Kentz relocated an entire 660,000Hl brewery from GaRankuwa, South Africa to Kenya in East Africa in less than 14 months to first brew. This was executed in an alliance with SAB, Brown & Root, Skanska and Rennies Shipping.

Kentz built a state-of-the-art 2,500,000Hl greenfields brewery in Port Elizabeth, South Africa for SAB. The overall project time was 18 months and the lowest recorded capex cost/Hl was achieved. This brewery included the use of profibus and field bus instrumentation for brewery control.
