Under the terms of the agreement, HEINEKEN, through its subsidiary Asia Pacific Breweries Limited, will have a controlling 57 percent stake in the new joint venture company and be responsible for overall management, providing brewing and technical expertise, procurement of ingredients and the licensing of brands.

The brewery will be located near the country's capital Yangon and is expected to be operational by the end of 2014. The joint venture company plans to invest US$60 million in the brewery, create more than 400 jobs and brew leading brands, including Heineken®.

The new company will implement HEINEKEN's global policies and approaches in relation to Employees and Human Rights, Supplier Code, local sourcing, water management, employee healthcare, community investment and responsible alcohol marketing.

It also reflects the recent international recognition by many countries of Myanmar's progress in terms of both political and social reform and the decision of a number of global companies to announce plans to enter the country (1).

Jean-François van Boxmeer, HEINEKEN CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board said: 'This is a truly exciting business opportunity that expands further our exposure to high growth markets. There is a growing recognition of the positive progress that Myanmar is making in terms of its political and social reforms. Through our investment, job creation and implementation of our global policies, I believe that we will support this process.'

Aung Moe Kyaw, Chairman, Alliance Brewery Company Ltd said: "We are excited by the prospect of working with a world class organisation such as HEINEKEN. We believe our knowledge and experience of the local market combined with the brewing and marketing know-how of HEINEKEN will deliver excellent products as well as attractive employment opportunities for the people of Myanmar."

Amcor's LatinAmerica custom designed hot fill containers, which also feature a newly designed shrink wrap label, boast an iconic shape that is highly attractive. The vibrant design was developed to promote a clean look that is both modern and elegant. The hot fill bottle delivers significant performance and cost advantages including portability, reduced breakage, and light weight, along with sustainability benefits such as recyclability, reduced transportation costs, and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.

With the new PET bottle design, Goya also offers consumers more marinade product by moving from a 705ml glass container to the 725ml PET bottle. Consumers are drawn to the attractive and lightweight features of the PET bottles which are easier to grip compared to traditional glass containers. The marinade containers also further extend Amcor's growing penetration in the food industry.

The use of PET in the 24.5oz (725ml) container results in a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 61.4% compared to glass, representing savings equivalent to annual GHG emissions from 313 passenger vehicles, according to Amcor. In addition, 24.5oz (725ml) PET bottles permit 52% more product to be shipped per truckload.

'In the end, lightweight PET not only delivered a major savings in terms of freight cost but also gave us the glass-like appearance and the shelf appeal to maintain our brand image,' explained Joseph Perez, senior vice president of Goya Foods.

Meanwhile, both PET bottles are the first to feature Amcor's new OrigamiTM hot fill technology which incorporates six flat panels to counteract vacuum that occurs in hot filled containers. The vacuum panels are designed to collapse, thus compensating for shrinkage during cooling to maintain structural strength and integrity. The flat surfaces create a modern, elegant profile which enhances gripping and consumer handling. A predominant neck adds to the bottles' uniqueness and improves pourability.

Both the 12oz and 24.5oz PET bottles are custom designed for both ambient fill (up to 140°F) and hot fill (up to 185°F) applications. They have a 38mm finish and are seamlessly integrated into existing glass filling lines with minimal adjustment, according to Perez. The marinade products, available in three varieties including Chipotle, Mojo, and Naranja Agria, are sold in supermarkets and club stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.

Goya Foods also plans to replace glass with PET in an existing 12oz juice beverage line. The conversion to hot fill PET is expected by the summer, according to Perez.

This launch of 12oz and 24.5oz Origami designed hot fill containers further exemplifies Amcor's leadership role in the production of hot fill containers for the food industry. The company offers 16oz and 32oz hot fill family size decanters and 12oz 38mm ring neck style and 24oz 63mm wide mouth hot fill stock bottles for the food market.  The company continues to focus on the development of new product offerings to meet the hot fill needs of food manufacturers.

For years vodka has held its own because it mixes so well with cola or juices such as cranberry or orange. But latest retail sales data reveals that rum is now the tipple of choice for a growing number of Brits with sales at Tesco soaring by 22 per cent – far higher than any other spirit.

So popular is the spirit that it has even replaced champagne in the Office of National Statistics in the shopping basket of what goods consumers typically buy.

Tesco now sells an astonishing 45 different varieties. It has doubled its range in the last three years.

Tesco spirits buyer Kate Evans said: 'The mojito has become the most popular cocktail in the world but with the high price of a night out on the town more Brits are now making their own at home.

'Rum is an extremely versatile spirit – not only in cocktails but also with long drinks mixed with cola and orange. Add that to the current trend for cocktails in general and you have reasons for the current boom.

'Rum hasn't been in such high demand since the 60s when rum and coke, or Cuba libre to give it its proper name, was the drink of choice.

'Other rum based cocktails which are extremely popular in bars across Britain now are the daiquiri, dark and stormy, planter's punch, mai tai, zombie and of course the evergreen pina colada.'

It's not only Tesco that's seeing strong growth for rum. Retail analysts Kantar Worldpanel report that in the last year sales of rum across all UK retailers have grown by four per cent – faster than any other spirit.

There are several types of rum, from dark to light, golden to spiced, flavoured, overproof, and premium.

But out of all of these it is golden rum that is driving the current boom because it is considered the most versatile when it comes to mixing cocktails.

Kate Evans added: 'There are many fine rums out there that are hard to find outside of specialist retailers and we believe the current trend will lead to a widening of the market with more choice available in each of the different rum categories.'

The UK's top selling rums are as follows:

1. Bacardi
2. Captain Morgan (Dark)
3. Morgans Spiced (Golden Spiced)
4. Havana Club (Golden)
5. Sailor Jerry (Golden Spiced)
