Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), through its subsidiary Demerara Distillers (St. Kitts and Nevis) Limited, officially turned the sod on Thursday, August 6, for a major US$10 million redevelopment and expansion of its facilities at Bird Rock, St. Kitts.

The landmark investment marks a significant milestone in DDL’s longstanding history in the Federation, where the company has operated successfully for more than three decades, having first established its operations in 1996.

The modernisation project is designed to substantially increase DDL’s operational footprint in the region. The new multi-purpose complex will feature expanded bottling, packaging, and state-of-the-art warehousing capacity, positioning the facility as a pivotal hub to serve St. Kitts & Nevis, as well as surrounding island markets across the Eastern Caribbean.
