The firm was very successful within a very few years of its founding because of its quality product and right way of market positioning and sales promotion initially in Europe, Far East and later on United States by his friend as the name Van Munching & Company. Prior to World War-II Despite Heineken success, it ceased its US operations during prohibition in 1933, it reestablished those operations, again granting Van MUNCHING & Company of NEW YORK exclusive rights to import Heineken products into the United States. Heineken has continued togrow steadily. It has breweries in over 50 countries. Some of the largest are in Canada and France.(contd)
Its joint venture with a leading Japanese brewer, Kirin, gives it a strong presence in that key market. Heineken aggressively expanded in European market in 1980 considering the EU’s competition of its common market and invested heavily in new internet based technology. Heineken has made one recent important strategic decision to change the Van Munching & company to Heineken USA which has helped cut costs and added additional profit. Heineken has made another significant investment for Muslim customers by producing non alcoholic beer under the Fayrouz label which has brought 1.3 billion Muslims customers in the world to enjoy the Heineken Beer.

Subsequently, it bought breweries in Greece, Ireland, Italy and Spain and thereby expanded its product lines and facilities of distribution throughout Europe • But interestingly Heineken did not setup any brewery in USA, taking lessons from Miller, a distributor of Lowenbrau in US market, importing from GermanyIn 2002 Heineken bought Egypt’s brewery, Al Ahram Beverage Co.

key issues facing Heineken in so far as international licensing is concerned • Heineken has boldly ventured into international markets and so far has been a big success. It has made the right decisions so far and has gone on to be the third largest beer producer. Not only is it a big market seller in Europe, but also in Asia, North America and South America, and Africa as well • The key issues facing Heineken regarding international licensing is the fact that people may no longer find the Heineken beer as it was before. People's perception can be a very important factor in the success or flop of an international product that is brewed locally. (CONTD)
Another key issue Heineken might eventually face is that the original flavor of the brew might be mixed with a flavor from the locality, thus, losing its original, imported taste. It's not about perception. That can really happen because the locality might greatly influence the taste and flavor of the locally produced beer. • Heineken is that it must be shrewd enough to choose the business partner that has the lowest demand. The licensee must agree on a high value of fees the parent company would charge on every bottle of beer it could sell
