Spanish brewer Damm has recorded a 19% increase in sales in the UK and group revenues of €2.01 billion (£1.73 billion) along with a net profit of £133 million during 2025.

The figures were released at the company’s recent AGM where international growth described a key driver at the business with Damm present in more than130 countries.

In 2025, international operations continued to grow and now represent 30% of Damm’s overall business. As part of its international strategy, Damm launched a new soft drinks production facility in Dakar, Senegal – the company’s first manufacturing site in Africa.

The facility will supply customers across Senegal and neighbouring West African markets. It will also support future expansion across the region.

In the UK, the business strengthened its commitment to the market through an agreement to acquire the Old Speckled Hen family of brands, one of the country’s most recognised premium ale portfolios.

The acquisition expands Damm’s presence in a category with deep roots in the British market and supports its long-term growth ambitions in the UK.

The move builds on the continued development of The Damm Eagle Brewery in Bedford, where Damm has invested more than €80 million (£70 million) in recent years to increase production capacity, introduce new manufacturing lines and increase capabilities in alcohol-free beverages and soft drinks.

Demetrio Carceller Arce, executive chairman of Damm, said: “Our international strategy focus is to get closer to the markets in which we operate, increase our ability to produce locally and respond more effectively to the needs of customers and consumers.

“Establishing our first manufacturing operation in Africa is a significant step forward in that journey and together with the strengthening of our UK business, reinforces a growth model that is more local, more agile and adapted to each market.”
