Carlsberg Group invests in new Ukraine can line
Carlsberg Group has invested 12 million EUR in a new can line at its brewery in Lviv, Ukraine. With a capacity of 40,000 cans per hour, equivalent to 11 cans per second, the new line will increase overall productivity at the brewery by 38%.
As a result, the brewery now operates three production lines: keg, PET and the new canning line. The new can line covers 1,000 square meters of the brewery premises and consists of eight machines.
The investment marks another important milestone in Carlsberg Group’s long-term commitment to Ukraine. Since the start of the war, Carlsberg Group has invested UAH 4.5 billion in the country and plans to continue annual investments of UAH 1-1.5 billion over the next three years.
Carlsberg Group CEO Jacob Aarup Andersen says:
“Ukraine is strategically important to us and has been so long before the war. While operating conditions have become much more difficult, we continue to see our business in Ukraine as both sound and meaningful.”
“That belief is why we continue to invest in and operate our business here – not just to maintain operations, but to strengthen economic resilience and show that long term investment is both possible and necessary.”
Carlsberg Ukraine, represented by three breweries in Zaporizhzhia, Lviv and Kyiv, is the biggest Danish business in Ukraine and continues to invest in the country.
Carlsberg provides jobs for more than 1.400 full-time employees in production, sales and back-office in Ukraine, as well as more than 20.000 jobs in related industries, such as agriculture, trade, logistics and hospitality.
