"Kasapreko is one of those companies who see the risk and yet believe that it is worth taking to produce a quality product like Kasapreko that is celebrated across the world today."
The company has been recognised as a major contributor to Ghana’s economy as it produces globally accepted brands of beverage products.
Kasapreko has 600 employees in the country and produces whiskey, wine, gin, liqueur, brandy, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages.
The firm has been operating since 1989. It is the first to set up a quality control and product development laboratory and to introduce proprietary bespoke bottles and caps.
