Malaysia: Carlsberg A/S has become the majority shareholder in Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad

Carlsberg A/S announced it increased its ownership in Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad from 49.66% to 51% on April 27. The investment amounts to approximately USD 6 million. The increase of the shareholding is made to reflect Carlsberg's control of Carlsberg Malaysia.

Carlsberg Malaysia was the second Carlsberg brewery established outside Denmark. It was founded in 1969 and listed on the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange in 1972.

Today, the brewery is one of Carlsberg's most successful investments in the Asian region and the company has been the market leader in the lager segment for several years. Carlsberg Green Label is the clear market leader, but the brewery also holds a substantial market share in the stout segment.

Carlsberg Malaysia's success has been built on a wide range of quality brands and product innovation. Recently, Carlsberg Malaysia introduced the beer brand SKOL as part of the on-going strategy to further strengthen the company's portfolio in the fiercely competitive market.

The transaction will not affect the management set-up in Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad.
