United Breweries Group
United Breweries Group based in Bangalore, is the world's 2nd largest brewer and the
largest in India. The company markets most of its beer under the Kingfisher brand and has
also launched Kingfisher Airlines, a domestic airline service in India.
The group is headed by Dr. Vijay Mallya who is also a member of the Indian Parliament.
United Breweries now has a near-monopoly over the Indian brewing market, thanks to its
recent takeover of the rival Shaw-Wallace company. The group owns the Mendocino
Brewing Company in the United States.
H istory:-
The UB Group was founded by a Scotsman, Thomas Leishman in 1857. The Group took its
initial lessons in manufacturing beer from South Indian based British breweries. At the age of
29, Vittal Mallya was elected as the company's first Indian director in 1947. After a year, he
replaced R G N Price as the chairman of the company. United Breweries made its initial
impact by manufacturing bulk beer for the British troops, which was transported in huge
barrels or "Hogsheads". Kingfisher, the Group's most visible and profitable brand, made amodest entry in the sixties. During the 1950's and 60's, the company expanded greatly by
acquiring other breweries. First was the addition of McDowell as one of the Group
subsidiaries, a move which helped United Breweries to extend its portfolio to wines and
spirits business. Strategically, the Group moved into agro-based industries and medicines
when Mallya acquired Kissan Products and formed a long-term relationship with Hoechst AG

of Germany to create the Indian pharmaceutical company now known as Aventis Pharma, the
Indian subsidiary of the global Pharma major Sanofi-Aventis.
The Logo:-
The Pegasus, which is the symbol of the United Breweries, first found its place as the Group
logo in 1940. Then, the Helladic horse ± associated with beer and nectar in Greek mythology
carried a beer cask between the wings, ostensibly because beer formed the core operations of
the Group. Later, the beer cask was removed to represent the Group¶s multifaceted
operations. Now, it is just the Pegasus.
Present H istory:-
Sales of the United Spirits Ltd. are expected to exceed 60 million cases during the fiscal year
2005-06 making the Group the third largest manufacturer of Spirits products in the world. In
addition, USL is one of only three in the world to own seven millionaire brands and at least
five brands rated by Drinks International, UK, to be amongst the ten fastest growing brands
in the world in their respective categories. The market share of the Spirits Division in India is
currently 60% and exports to the Middle East, Africa and Asian countries are growing
rapidly. The UB Group¶s Brewing Entity - called United Breweries Limited (UBL) - has also
assumed undisputed market leadership with a national market share in excess of 50%.
Through a process of aggressive acquisition and market penetration, The UB Group today
controls 60% of the total manufacturing capacity for Beer in India. The flagship brand,
Kingfisher is now sold in over 52 countries worldwide having received many accolades for
its quality. With plans to becoming a global player United Spirits Ltd. (USL), the flagship of
the UB group, purchased the Scottish distiller Whyte and Mackay in May 2007 for £595
million (Rs. 4,800 crore).This would bring the brands of W&M like The Dalmore, Isle of
Jura, Glayva, Fetter cairn, Vladivar Vodka, and Whyte & Mackay Scotch under its portfolio.
The UB group is also into manufacture of Fertilizers. The group company Mangalore
Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (MCF) has factory at Panambur in Dakshina Kannada
district of Karnataka.

K ingfisher Limited
³The King of Good Times´ is India¶s best-selling beer, and from Mumbai to Delhi, the locals
guzzle through millions of bottles annually. But although the brand commands up to 25% of
its domestic market, unless you¶ve visited India or are a part-time connoisseur of curries, you
may not have recognized Kingfisher¶s qualities as the perfect accompaniment to a chicken
Vindaloo. However, all that could change in the future as Kingfisher¶s owners, United
Breweries, have delivered their premium brand to the web in an effort to increase global
awareness of their coveted flagship product. The Kingfisher homepage is everything you
would expect from the Indian-based brand. It is colourful and noisy (although the score
sounds more Caribbean than Indian) and there¶s plenty of animation to enhance the viewing
experience. Areas of the site that are well worth a visit include the Fun n Beer section, where
you can send E-cards to your friends or have a chuckle at the Beer Jokes; the Food section,
which is a must for lovers of Indian cuisine; and the World section, which contains
information about the history of United Breweries and the Kingfisher brand itself.
Unfortunately, the facility to order Kingfisher beer and apparel online only exists for
residents of Bangalore at present, so from an E-tail perspective, the site is limited to a fraction
of its own indigenous market. This feeling of constraint is also extended to other site areas
and there are several sections within Kingfisher.com that are weak in terms of content and
will need substantial embellishment if United Breweries are to make full use of the web as a
marketing tool. The Sports pages are a good example of this as they simply contain a handful

of paragraphs on Kingfisher¶s sponsorship of past sporting events, rather than evangelizing
what associates the emotional aspects of the Kingfisher brand with its chosen recreational
partners. With a market share of over 36%, it is India's largest selling beer, with 1 out of
every 3 bottles of beer sold in India being a Kingfisher brand. It is currently available in 52
countries outside India. Heineken Group, holds 37.5% equity shares in United Breweries Ltd.
K ingfisher comes in the following varieties-
y Kingfisher Premium
y K ingfisher Strong: The brand was launched in 1999 to cater to the growing strong
beer segment in the country. Today, Kingfisher Strong is India¶s largest selling beer

Kingfisher ULTRA is available in two SKUs: 650ml and 330ml bottles.

available in three varieties - red, white and rosé. It is packaged in 750ml bottles and a

150 years. From the days of the British Raj in India when skilled European Brew
masters catered to the needs of the Raj and their troops, making quality beer in
compact breweries. To now being brewed in State of-the-Art breweries and
catering to an eclectic, multi-ethnic group of people .

The Brand
A Heritage of Excellence!
The inspiration for the choice of the brand name was certainly influenced by the great
numbers of these beautiful and strikingly colored birds which abound in India where over 70
different varieties/species of kingfisher can be found - more than in any other country or
continent in the world. Kingfishers are particularly prevalent in Bangalore, the garden city of
India, which is also headquarters to The United Breweries Group, brand owners of Kingfisher
Premium Lager.
Kingfisher, the bird is known for its keen instinct, and perfect aim. It zeros on its target with
unfaltering focus. It is a very vibrantly coloured bird. All of its colours represent energy,
youthfulness, enthusiasm, freedom with a touch of formality and discipline. No wonder, that
this bird with an eye for right focus and an aim for succeeding in its attempt became the
mascot for The Kingfisher brand of Beer from the stables of the UB group.
Kingfisher's award winning flavour and consistent excellence of quality has made Kingfisher
one of the largest selling beer brands in the world today.
The new look designed by the UK based packaging specialists, Claessens, is representative of
the brand in full flight, in a supportive environment. It reflects the energy, youthfullness andfreedom that are characteristic of the brand's target consumer and reiterates its contemporary
positioning.
Kingfisher stands for excitement, youth and camaraderie! "It's flying" and the mood is upbeat
± both within the Company and among consumers !

Celebrating over 150 Years of Brewing Excellence!
K ingfisher's heritage started with five small breweries in South India, the oldest of which,
Castle Breweries dated back to 1857. Then in 1915, Thomas Leishman, a Scotsman,
combined these breweries to form United Breweries Ltd.
The popularity of their beers soon spread and within a short time, bullock carts carrying huge
'hogsheads' of Kingfisher became a familiar sight in Madras, the Nilgiris and Bangalore, the
headquarters of United Breweries Ltd. Almost immediately, the brew from UB became a
favourite, especially with the British troops.
So began the history of Beer in India...
Kingfisher, the flagship brand of United Breweries and the best-selling Indian Lager
worldwide, is now available in over 55 countries and is exported from the UK to 19
Continental European Markets and Canada and from India to major markets in the Middle
East, South East Asia, the Far East and Australasia, and it is also served on board 10
international airlines.

Kingfisher was first imported to the UK and USA markets in the years 1982 and 1983
respectively in the traditional large 650ml bottles. It rapidly gained a foothold in the fast
expanding Indian Restaurant markets. In the UK within three years, demand for the brand
was so great that production had to be switched to England. Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest
brewer, was selected to brew Kingfisher under licence and to the Indian specification at their brewery in Faversham, Kent. Similarly, demand to launch Kingfisher in the mainstream
markets in the USA was so compelling that production had to be switched under license to
the state-of-the-art breweries of Mendocino Brewing Company, internationally renowned as a
brewer of full-bodied traditional beers and as a pioneer in the American Craft Brewing
Renaissance.
Brewing to perfection and a commitment to quality is our obsession and a rich heritage!

Instead of the sitting kingfisher bird, the picture of a flying kingfisher was used during
creation of new logo because the company wanted to promote itself as an aspirational brand
which always wants to go high. This change was made mainly to maintain the distinctive
positioning and to create a stronger emotional bond with the aspiring Indian youth. This
repositioning was so successful that even today Kingfisher uses this logo. After the entry of international brand Fosters, Kingfisher repositioned itself into a lifestyle brand adopting
jingles like µOola la le lo¶ and tagline µKing of good times¶. Kingfisher tried to position itself
as a brand for the successful and professional individuals who are always ready to take a
break, have a party or just chill out. This positioning was promoted using Indian cricketers
such as Ajay Jadeja and Sourav Ganguly, West Indies cricket team (At that time Kingfisher
was the official sponsor of WI cricket team) and various other means. The notable thing
during this repositioning process is that during this process Kingfisher kept the original
message of the brand intact while adopting strategies (including advertising, logo designing,
etc.) to communicate better with the consumers and to create a stronger emotional bond with
them. The strategies of Kingfisher paid off well and as a result Kingfisher maintained the
leadership position and added more dimensions into the brand making it stronger than before.

Brand Preference
Selective demand for a company's brand rather than a product and the degree to which
consumers prefer one brand over another is called brand preference. In an attempt to build
brand preference advertising, the advertising must persuade a target audience to consider the
advantages of a brand, often by building its reputation as a long-established and trusted name
in the industry. If the advertising is successful, the target customer will choose the brand over
other brands in any category.

economic growth resulting in high disposable incomes, an increase in beer sales in the next
two or three years is expected.
In addition to the increase in sales, the number of brands is expected to increase in the near
future, with existing players like United Breweries and SABMiller expanding their ranges,and new players like Anheuser-Busch, Carlsberg and InBev setting up production facilities.
This new report indicates how the market has developed, which markets/regions are
strongest, the leading brands and sales by segment and region.
Traditional beers markets in Europe and USA are either flat or are in a state of decline,
whereas India still has a huge untapped market. For these reasons international beer
companies are coming to India almost every quarter. Kingfisher, since its origin proved to be
the marketing savvy brand and even though it was the largest selling beer brand but when
Fosters entered the Indian market Kingfisher sniffed possible competition and invested
heavily in brand visibility and positioning. Kingfisher changed its logo and adopted a new
logo and tagline, sponsored the West Indian cricket team and also used the Indian cricketers
to sponsor its product. It went into airlines, lifestyle and even started a television channel
with NDTV. India is a growing economy and its market is opening up. The per capita income
of the people of the country is rising daily and so is the beer consumption rate. The stigmaassociated with the consumption of alcoholic drinks has also gone down; as a result the beer
companies are trying to get more associated with everyone¶s life.
