“We plan to double the capacity of the can-filling line, to buy new equipment in the utilities department, build a new finished product or material warehouse and diversify our product range,” said Luminita Marin, general manager of Albrau Prod.

The brewer in Onesti (eastern Romania) makes and sells pasteurized beer in various types of packaging (glass bottles, cans, PET bottles and kegs) and its brands include Albrau, Dobru, Zimbru and Asbeer. It also makes private label beer for Kaufland, Metro Cash & Carry, Mega Image and Profi, according to the corporate website.

Albrau posted RON46 million net revenue in 2020 and has been in business since 1992, when it took over the Zimbru brewery established in 1845. It is one of the few independent brewers still in operation today.
