She said the Company’s philosophy was in tune with the President’s vision of promoting local goods, adding that, the company uses local raw material, including herbs and cassava to manufacture its products.

Mr Yaw Mensah, the National Sales Manager of the Company, said quality was of utmost importance to the company, and that, it never compromises with that in the process of brewing.

“Our Quality Control Department ensures that products put on the market are wholesome and acceptable to the customers. We also collaborate with the renowned Centre for Scientific Research into Plant Medicine ( CSRPM),an affiliate of the World Health Organization, in the development of our products’’, he noted.
