The year that Guinness Cameroun SA ( GCSA ) was founded

The Diageo Guinness Cameroon we know today began when merchants started taking bottles of Guinness from Europe to Africa on their ships . The Cameroonians fell in love with the product , and Guinness Ltd – based in London – began officially exporting . This led to Guinness Cameroun SA ( GCSA ) being created in 1967 , with the first depot opening in Limbe . Two years later a brewery was built in Douala , and by 1970 , production was firmly underway . Guinness merged with IDV in 1997 , becoming a subsidiary of Diageo Plc . The company is now the worldwide leader of premium beverages , with a range that includes huge brands in the world of wines , beers , and spirits , 29 of which rank as among the top 100 spirits globally .
