Kopparbergs Bryggeri, the Swedish brewing group, has posted a pre-tax profit for 2002 of SKr2.2m (242,000), versus a pre-tax loss of SKr2.9m (319,000) for 2001. The company has registered a 35.6% turnover rise up to SKr595.5m (65.4m). The company said its 2002 results had been adversely affected by one-time costs of SKr4.9m (538,000) in relation to its acquisition of rival brewer, Banco Bryggeri AB, and by additional costs off SKr2.0m (220,000).
