Current business profile
Ursus Breweries has three breweries in Brasov, Buzau and Timisoara and a mini production unit in Cluj. During 2012 lager volumes declined by 8% in a market in which consumers have downtraded. This emphasis on the economy segment and bulk packs has involved heavy discounting and led to adverse brand and pack mix. Our performance was also impacted by planned wholesaler destocking in the second half of the year.
