COMPANY PRESENTATION
Company presentation
ETHIOPIA –
A HIGH-POTENTIAL
CONSUMER MARKET
International agencies are
describing Ethiopia as a high-
potential consumer market, with
an expanding middle class and
rapid urbanisation. As Africa’s
second most populated coun-
try with more than 90 million
people, the beverage industry
is poised to become a thriving
sector of the economy. Juniper
Glass will be positioned to sup-
ply Ethiopian customers, export
to regional markets and continue
to expand as demand increases.
A business strongly focused
on social impact, Juniper Glass
will contribute significantly to
the development of the Debre
Birhan community. There are
plans to partner with higher edu-
cation institutions in the area to
design courses for students who
are interested in careers within
Juniper Glass and other indus-
tries. Various community projects,
including in health and education,
will also receive support.
“Developing a new business
sector, manufacturing a great
product and meeting consumer
demand will have positive impli-
cations on return on invest-
ment,” explained Washington.
“More than that, the impact on
human lives and on the economy
is what’s truly exciting. This
includes job creation, poverty
reduction and the development
of skills that will directly
impact Ethiopia’s growth
story.” O
