Bulgaria: New brewery starts operation in Pleven
Local company Didi Puhi said it has launched a new beer factory in its home town of Pleven, Northern Bulgaria, according to Dnevnik, May 18.
The brewery, located on a 5,000 sq m plot in the Pleven industrial zone, cost 5 mln levs (about EUR 2.5 mln). The beer production licenses Czech technology and is based on Czech malts. The lager will be marketed under the brand Ataman in 1 liter glass containers and 2 liter PET containers.
In its first year of operation, the brewery will produce 50,000 hectoliters for distribution in the Pleven region. Output will gradually reach 100,000-120,000 hectoliters a year.
The talk of possible resurrection of beer production in Pleven started 2 years ago when InBev, the world's biggest brewer by volume, shifted its regional operations from the local Plevensko Pivo brewery to production facilities in Southern Bulgaria.
Didi Puhi is a licensed grain traders and importer of malt products.
