Carlsberg is selling Danbrew Ltd. A/S to Birch & Krogboe A/S
Has entered into a long-term agreement on the purchase of brewery-related services from Birch & Krogboe/Danbrew.
06/06/05 Carlsberg is selling Danbrew Ltd. A/S to Birch & Krogboe A/S with effect from 1 October 2005. At the same time Carlsberg has entered into a long-term agreement on the purchase of brewery-related services from Birch & Krogboe/Danbrew.
Danbrew was founded in 1979 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlsberg focusing on tech-nical consulting and contracting services for the brewery sector. Since then the company has been involved in more than 1,500 projects in 75 countries, including turnkey projects for the construction of 40 complete new breweries. Danbrew has around 75 employees.
In recent years, as the international brewery sector has undergone rapid consolidation, Dan-brew's ownership has held back sales of services to other brewery groups. It is believed that Danbrew will be better able to develop its services for the sector - including brewery optimi-sation and process improvement projects - under new ownership.
To ensure that Carlsberg retains access to the specialist expertise built up by Danbrew, a long-term agreement on the supply of brewery related services has been concluded with new owner Birch & Krogboe.
