Three months after shelling out $11 billion for Anheuser-Busch InBev's Australian operations, Asahi Group Holdings Ltd. plans to keep growing via more deals.
Japan's largest brewer wants to establish more hubs globally beyond Europe and Australia, Chief Executive Officer Akiyoshi Koji said in an interview Thursday.
"I'm OK with having four or five geographic hubs; it's a step by step process," said Koji. "Once we expanded into the three areas and they are stable, depending on our financial conditions and if there is a good target, we'd expand to the next hub." He declined to elaborate on a time line.
