Marking a significant expansion beyond beverages, the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Ltd. has officially stepped into the snack market with the debut of Plazma Biscuit, a well-loved European treat now making its way to Nigerian consumers.
This launch signals NBC’s strategic diversification into Nigeria’s thriving fast-moving consumer goods sector, underscoring its confidence in the country’s growing economy and appetite for quality snacks. It also demonstrates the company’s commitment to broadening its product portfolio and deepening its local presence after decades of beverage leadership.
The introduction of Plazma was made possible through a partnership involving Bambi, one of Europe’s leading confectionery producers; the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC); NBC; and a local manufacturing partner, ensuring that the biscuit retains its international standard while being locally produced.
Described as a creamy, nutritious, and wholesome biscuit, Plazma is crafted to suit the lifestyle of Nigerian families, offering both enjoyment and nourishment.
At the unveiling event, Goran Sladić, Managing Director of NBC, officially presented the product by selling the first carton of Plazma biscuits—an act that symbolized the beginning of a new era for the company.
“Plazma represents more than a snack; it stands for trust, quality, and connection that cross generations and cultures,” said Sladić. “Introducing it to Nigeria is a reaffirmation of our belief in this nation’s potential and our continued commitment to its growth. For over seventy years, NBC has been part of Nigeria’s story—this is yet another way we’re strengthening that bond through innovation and local collaboration.”
With Plazma’s entry into the market, NBC positions itself as not just a beverage leader but an all-round lifestyle brand, ready to deliver quality experiences that resonate with the evolving preferences of Nigerian consumers.
