Santo Domingo.- The president of the Dominican National Brewery (CND), Fabián Suárez, announced that the company has invested more than RD$17.64 billion since 2021, a plan fueled by the Dominican Republic’s economic stability and its appeal to foreign investors. Suárez highlighted that the driving force behind AB InBev’s continued investment in the country is “Dominican talent,” describing it as the key factor that makes the nation a benchmark market in the Caribbean and beyond. His remarks came during the inauguration of the company’s new Logistics Transformation Hub, an event led by President Luis Abinader.

The logistics center, part of CND’s 2021–2026 investment plan, occupies 145,000 square meters on the Santo Domingo Beltway and required an investment of over RD$2.9 billion. Designed for high operational efficiency, it can store 115 million beers, equivalent to 25 days of national demand, and will generate more than 500 direct and indirect jobs, contributing to the 44,000 jobs already supported by the beer industry nationwide. The project aims to expand production capacity, enhance distribution, and advance sustainability initiatives to strengthen national development.

Industry and Commerce Minister Víctor “Ito” Bisonó described the new hub as a reflection of investor confidence in the Dominican economy, citing the country’s stable climate and record levels of foreign direct investment, which reached US$4.523 billion in 2024 and could hit US$5 billion by year’s end. He also praised the brewery’s progress in operating entirely on renewable energy, producing its own glass bottles, and maintaining a fully integrated supply chain.
