Hard liquor-maker Ginebra San Miguel is finalizing plans to put up four new production plants as part of the group-wide expansion program of parent conglomerate San Miguel Corp.

“Ginebra is coming back to be number one,” SMC president Ramon S. Ang told reporters yesterday after the annual stockholders’ meeting of SMC’s controlling shareholder, Top Frontier Investment Holdings Inc.

Ang said Ginebra—which currently has six production sites across the country—was choosing from among eight potential sites for the four new distilleries.
