WLBL & Du Boulay’s Bottling Transitions its Castries Production Line to Vieux Fort

Du Boulay’s Bottling Company’s branch will no longer be used for water and soft drink production.

Subsequent to its 2016 merger, Windward and Leeward Brewery Limited (WLBL) and Du Boulay’s Bottling Company Limited (DBC) announces the relocation of its Water (Crystal Clear) and Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD-Coke, Sprite and Icy) production line from its Castries plant, located on Bridge Street, to its Vieux Fort brewery. The relocation is targeted to be complete by October 2020 and this supports the company’s vision to create a sustainable business through a modern and efficient single production site dedicated to innovation, people development and global safety standards.

The company is proud to continue to serve the Saint Lucian public and the OECS producing and distributing a portfolio of award winning products. The relocation creates a number of opportunities including continuing to offer product innovation to customers and consumers, development of team member competencies and overall business synergies for sustainability. This in turn will allow the company to continue to support the local communities in a meaningful way and provide a return on investment to our shareholders. The company has also committed offering continued employment to all employees at the Castries Plant and they have the choice to be relocated based on their position, to the Vieux Fort Brewery or to one of the company’s other work sites.

As one team, the company is committed to building a sustainable future for its business, teams, customers and Saint Lucia brewing and serving quality products.
