Ukraine: Carlsberg halts operations at its Ukrainian breweries
Danish brewer Carlsberg said on February 24 it has halted operations at its brewery in Kyiv, the southern city of Zaporizhzhya, and in Lviv, western Ukraine, due to the escalating conflict in the country, the MarketScreener reported.
Carlsberg, the second-largest brewer in Ukraine with a 31% market share, had taken "several initiatives in Ukraine with the aim of taking care of the safety of our employees in the country," a spokeswoman said.
"We have stopped production at our breweries in Zaporizhzhya and Kyiv and have informed our employees to stay at home and follow the instructions of the Ukrainian authorities," she said.
Later in the day, the company said it also shut its brewery in Lviv, western Ukraine, after supplies of natural gas to the brewery were cut.
Carlsberg has a third brewery in Ukraine in the western city of Lviv.
