In yet another strategic step to help consumers to differentiate the original Alomo Bitters more easily,
Kasapreko Company Nigeria Limited, producer of the multiple
award-winning medicinal alcoholic beverage unveiled the new look Alomo
Bitters in Lagos.
Consequently,
lovers of Alomo Bitters can now continue to enjoy their favourite
medicinal herbal drink that comes in the 75 centilitre glass and 200
millimeter pet bottles now fortified with a Hologram seal around the
bottle caps. The Hologram seal is a silver-like shining seal which is
similar to that found on the non-polymer Nigerian Naira notes, and it
has been strategically positioned around the cap of every bottle of
Alomo Bitters for easy identification of the authentic brand from
imitation.

Speaking
at the unveiling in Lagos, on Thursday, February 26 2015, the Managing
Director, Kasapreko Company Nigeria Limited, Mr. Kojo Nunoo said the
introduction of hologram seal around the caps is one of the initiatives
by the company to checkmate criminal faking of Alomo Bitters by
unscrupulous profiteers and to protect consumers against the consumption
of substandard products which endanger human life.
The refreshed packaging for Alomo Bitters, according to him, is also aimed at empowering consumers to have access to genuine Alomo Bitters at all times. He added that it further demonstrated the companys care for the consumers and their safety.

He
added, criminal faking of the original Alomo Bitters has been a major
challenge we face in Nigeria. As a company that places priority on the
wellbeing of our consumers, this bothers us a lot. Hence the launch of
the new hologram is aimed at helping the consumers identify the
authentic Alomo Bitters when making purchase.
While
buttressing the process involved in having the hologram security feature
around the cap of Alomo Bitters bottles, Nunoo said the company went as
far as Germany and the United States to get reputable hologram seal
companies to create the unique hologram for the brand. This is how much
we value the wellbeing of our consumers, he stressed.
Speaking
on the rationale for the new Hologram seal, the Marketing Manager,
Kasapreko Company Nigeria Limited, Mr. Peter Adegor, said the need to
protect Alomo Bitters brand equity and to continue to guarantee consumer
safety were paramount to the management of the company.
He
informed that whilst between 2011 and 2012 Alomo Bitters accounted for
about 80 per cent of the bitters market share, the position of the brand
has today been threatened by the devilish imitation of the original
product which has made it difficult for the consumers to distinguish
their favourite Alomo Bitters from the fake.
We need to
exterminate this fear and reassure consumers that they can still enjoy
their favourite Alomo Bitters. The launch of the hologram seal,
therefore, demonstrates our determination to make sure our consumers
continue to live healthy and active lives by having access to the
genuine and authentic herbal drink they have always stayed with, which
is Alomo Bitters, Adegor said.
Special
Guest and Representative from Consumer Protection Council (CPC) in Lagos
State, Barrister. Tam Tamunokombia, commended Kasapreko for taking this
bold step in consumer protection, and said the dangers of consuming
counterfeit and substandard products were numerous and may even result
in loss of life.
With the
hologram seal now around the bottle caps of Alomo Bitters, I am glad
that consumers will not only continue to enjoy their favourite medicinal
Alomo Bitters, but they will do so safely and confidently, he said.
