KAMPALA, Uganda — Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL) has received the prestigious Prestige Trophy from Monde Selection, recognizing 25 years of consistently producing internationally acclaimed, high-quality brands. The award comes as UBL nears its 80th anniversary of brewing.
The award ceremony was held recently in Rome, Italy. The global accolade underscores UBL’s commitment to delivering high-quality products. The Prestige Trophy is granted to companies that have received a Grand Gold, Gold, Silver or Bronze award over multiple years.
Monde Selection, also known as the International Quality Institute, is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. Since 1961, the independent organization has assessed consumer products like food, beverages and cosmetics, awarding quality labels based on sensory analysis, organoleptic criteria and compliance with international standards.
“This award validates our manufacturing excellence, producing brands that are not only traded locally, but also regionally and globally,” said Andrew Kilonzo, Uganda Breweries Managing Director, commenting on the Monde Selection award.
UBL’s commitment to quality is integral to its “Pioneering Grain to Glass Sustainability” initiative. This program ensures that every step of the production process, from sourcing raw materials to the final product, adheres to the highest standards. The initiative also fosters partnerships with local farmers, guarantees ingredient traceability and continuously improves production systems to meet international benchmarks.
Monde Selection’s Quality Awards serve as a guarantee of reliable quality for consumers worldwide. Several Uganda Breweries brands, including Uganda Waragi, have consistently earned Gold awards, highlighting their long-standing recognition for quality.
