Mitsubishi Monitor Volume 18, No.3 June & July 2004
“Mitsubishi” is more than 40 independent companies who share a common ancestry.
The companies conduct their business activities separately but cooperate in areas like philanthropy and public affairs.
Zhuhai Kirin manufactures and sells Haizhu, Kirin Ichiban and Macao, principally in China's Guangdong Province. Kirin Brewery, ever focusing on customers and quality, is solidly behind the efforts of Zhuhai Kirin, which launched its first draft beer in record time, while simultaneously upgrading quality control and creating a new marketing organization.

Growing prosperity in China is producing a rising thirst for beer. In 2002, total beer production reached 23.6 million kiloliters, making China the largest market in the world. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Pearl River Delta region of southern China, which is the principal sales area of Kirin Brewery affiliate, Zhuhai Kirin President Brewery, based in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. Zhuhai Kirin has discovered that as consumption grows, so too does the number of customers willing to pay slightly more for a better quality product. The affiliate identified an emerging interest in draft beer, which is smooth and has a progressive, premium image.
