Yumbo is a small, industrial city and municipality in western Colombia.

[2] Yumbo has a relatively dry but extremely foggy and sunless tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) not unlike the climate of Bogotá except substantially hotter due to the lower elevation.

In August 2006, SABMiller plc, one of the world’s leading brewers, announced it would invest $175 million US dollars in a new brewery in Yumbo, in order to keep pace with growing demand in the western Colombia.

It will replace an existing 130 million litre facility in the central Cali, which is almost 80 years old and is on a site that can no longer be expanded.

The new plant will be built on a high technological level and will provide employment for approximately 200 people.
