Ultimum Limited, a fast-growing food and beverage manufacturing company
has commissioned its state-of-the-art beverage manufacturing plant in
Aba, Abia State, marking a major step for the company and the Kadji
Group.
Located in the Osisioma Industrial Layout, the new plant produces the
high-quality variants of the Razzl brand of carbonated soft drinks (CSD)
– Razzl Pamplemousse (a unique and special grapefruit flavour), Razzl
Cola, Razzl Orange, and Razzl Lemon.
The facility will create jobs, support local businesses, and strengthen
supply chains across South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria, with
plans to expand distribution nationwide in the near future.
Commissioning the plant, the Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex
Chioma Otti OFR, described the investment as a clear signal of economic
revival and growing investor confidence in Abia State.
“Aba is alive again!, the Executive Governor said. “What we are
witnessing here today is not just the opening of a factory, but the
return of belief in our economy. This investment confirms that we are
creating the right conditions for businesses to grow, thrive, and
succeed.”
“Investors will always go where there is clarity, stability, and
opportunity. Our focus has been to build that environment, and today’s
commissioning shows that the strategy is working.” He added.
Chairman of Ultimum Limited and representative of the investor group,
Mr. Whalen Kadji, emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to Aba
and Nigeria.
He stated, “We did not come here by chance. We came because of the
energy and entrepreneurial spirit of Aba. This city has always been a
center of enterprise, and we believe strongly in its future. This plant
is more than an investment in beverages; it is an investment in people,
in jobs, and in the growth of local industry. We are here for the long
term, and this is just the beginning of what we intend to build here.”
Managing Director of Ultimum Limited, Mr. Austin Ufomba, described the
plant as a bold step in the company’s journey.
“Ultimum Limited started with a simple idea, to build world-class
products right here in Africa. Today, that idea has come to life in a
very real way. This plant is not just infrastructure, it is a platform
for innovation, for job creation, and for excellence. It sends a strong
message that Nigeria can produce at global standards.”
He added that “Beyond the products, we are creating opportunities for
young people, supporting communities, and contributing to the economic
growth of Nigeria and the African continent. That is what this
investment truly represents.”
The commissioning of the Ultimum Limited plant proves that government
reforms and private investment can transform a region. Improved
infrastructure is positioning Aba as a leading destination for
large-scale industry.
This milestone expands our footprint and brings our
#RefreshingNigeria# mission to life.
Through bold flavours, affordability, and deep market access, we are
ready to compete at the highest level of Nigeria’s beverage industry.
