Kasapreko PLC is having a year when almost every major move seems to be paying off.
The Ghanaian beverage maker expects to close 2026 with its highest revenue, highest sales volume and highest profit in its history, even as it pushes ahead with a major expansion that will boost production capacity and strengthen its presence across regional markets.
The upbeat outlook came during President John Dramani Mahama’s visit to the company’s Spintex facility, where he praised Kasapreko’s growth and held it up as a model for Ghanaian businesses.
“Kasapreko is a proud Ghanaian brand,” President Mahama said, describing the company as an example of what Ghanaian enterprises can achieve when they invest and continue to expand.
He also pointed to the company’s growing export footprint, noting that Kasapreko products can now be found in markets including the United States, South Africa and across East Africa.
For CEO Richard Adjei, however, the strongest evidence of the company’s momentum is showing up in its numbers.
He said 2025 was Kasapreko’s most successful year, but 2026 is expected to surpass it across the company’s key performance measures.
“We will record our highest revenue, our highest volume of sales, and our highest profits,” Mr Adjei said.
That confidence comes on the back of one of the year’s biggest milestones for the company: its successful listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
Kasapreko raised GH¢700 million through its Initial Public Offering, after receiving investor applications of about GH¢1.72 billion, more than twice the amount it sought.
The market has since given the company another reason for optimism.
Kasapreko’s shares debuted at GH¢1.20 and climbed to about GH¢2.30 at their peak, representing a gain of more than 90% from the IPO price. The stock has since pulled back from that high but remains well above its listing price and has shown renewed strength, keeping investor attention firmly on the company.
The money raised through the IPO is already being channelled into Kasapreko’s next major growth phase.
At Adeiso, the company is building its largest manufacturing facility in Ghana, a complex expected to be about three times the size of its Spintex factory. It will feature high-speed production lines for water, juices, and carbonated soft drinks, with combined installed capacity of approximately 250,000 bottles per hour.
The facility is expected to create about 1,000 additional direct and indirect jobs, while strengthening Kasapreko’s ability to serve the ECOWAS and AfCFTA markets.
President Mahama said the company’s expansion reflects growing confidence in Ghana’s business environment, citing a relatively stable currency, falling interest rates and tighter fiscal management.
“This is the time for businesses to invest,” he said, pointing to the increase in foreign direct investment as evidence that international investors are responding to the improving economic environment.
Kasapreko is also positioning itself for growth beyond beverages. The company plans to expand into agro-processing, with a focus on adding value to Ghanaian agricultural produce, reducing dependence on imported raw materials and creating stronger links between agriculture and manufacturing.
The company has also welcomed recent changes to the Excise Act, particularly the removal of the 20% excise tax on locally produced juices. Management says the measure will improve the competitiveness of locally produced juices against imports and create room for further investment in the sector.
The result is a company entering the final stretch of 2026 with strong financial growth, fresh capital from its successful listing, rising investor interest, expanding production capacity and an ambitious pipeline of new investments.
From a five-employee operation to one of Ghana’s leading beverage manufacturers, Kasapreko is closing 2026 with stronger sales, deeper investor confidence and bigger ambitions than ever before.
Kasapreko’s 2026 is shaping up as a year in which one success is following another.
