Carlsberg to invest in Kronenbourg brewery in France
Carlsberg is investing further in its Kronenbourg brewery in eastern France.
The Denmark-based giant is to spend €30m ($31.7m) at the site in Obernai on projects that include the installation of an automated packaging line capable of bottling 60,000 beers an hour.
Carlsberg said the investment follows €25m of spending at the brewery over the last four years.
The investment package also includes a new warehouse, as well as a palletiser that allows the facility to create half-pallets for customers that are easier to display in shops.
Carlsberg has owned Kronenbourg since 2008 when the Danish brewer teamed up with Heineken to buy UK-based Scottish and Newcastle.
In 2022, the unit generated sales of €910m, up 9.6% year-on-year, and shifted 5.8m hectolitres.
