Nigerian Breweries Plc is the largest brewing company in Nigeria. It serves the Nigerian market and West Africa.

In 1947, the construction of the brewery began at Iganmu, Lagos, and was completed in 1949. The STAR Lager, which was the first bottle of its brand, rolled off the bottling lines of its Lagos brewery in June 1949.

Star attained market leadership in 1960, which created a need to build more factories in Nigeria. To get products to consumers, the company gave rights to sell its brand to select distributors and built depots at strategic locations within the country. As the company expanded into other regions, it established more breweries, such as Aba Brewery in 1957 and Kaduna Brewery in 1963. By 1971, the company was one of the largest industries in the country in terms of capital investment.

Most of the products are packed in returnable bottles, and all products are now available in cans. Fayrouz, Maltina, and Amstel Malta are also produced in P.E.T Bottles. Some of the company’s alcoholic breweries includes; Star Lager, Gulder Lager beer, Goldberg Lager, Heineken Lager, Star Radler etc and the non-alcholic drinks are; Maltina (Maltina Classic, Maltina Vanilla, and Maltina Pineapple), Amstel Malt, Fayrouz, Climax energy, Himalt and others. The company's head office is located in Lagos.
