As the largest brewer in Turkey, Anadolu Efes introduced many “firsts” to the consumers. The company took an important step by expanding abroad in 1990s. Regarding the international operations, Anadolu Efes took another important step aimed at commercial sustainability in the global market in 2012 and formed a strategic alliance with SABMiller Plc (“SABMiller”).
