The brewery in Moundou, operated by Brasseries du Tchad (BdT), is the industrial flagship of Chad's second-largest city and one of the country's most important production facilities. Since its founding in 1964, it has been producing the famous Gala beer, which is considered a national symbol and is known far beyond the region's borders. The factory utilizes the soft water of the Logone River for the brewing process and employs hundreds of direct and indirect workers. In addition to beer, soft drinks and mineral water are bottled here under license, making the brewery a versatile beverage producer. Its economic significance for Moundou is immense, as the brewery generates tax revenue and stimulates local trade. In recent years, the facilities have been modernized to increase energy efficiency and minimize the environmental impact of wastewater. Through this industrial site, Moundou solidifies its status as the economic and industrial center of southern Chad.
