  • Asahi Breweries Europe Group
    Asahi Breweries Europe Group 3 It is my great pleasure to introduce the Asahi Breweries Europe Group Established in April 2017, we are the Central European wing of Asahi Group Holdings, a traditional Japanese producer of beer, whisky and a wide range of food products, with a rich history that can be traced back to 1889. In the heart of Europe, we are custodians of a range of around 40 well-established and admired local brands, some of which have be- come national icons. We build on hundreds of years of craftsmanship and brewing traditions. We actually gave the world the grandfather of the whole lager beer category, and we are extremely proud that we still brew our Pilsner Urquell the same way as in 1842. Our purpose is to inspire better drinking experiences by brewing Kando moments. Simply said, we want people to drink better, not more. We focus on our range of premium brands, and while fully re- specting tradition, we also look to the future. We regularly embark on journeys to enlarge the beer category, shifting the borders with prod- ucts for new audiences. We run 11 breweries, the oldest one dating back to 1629, and brew 33 million hectolitres of beer every year. This means we have the scale to shape the category, while maintaining the agility to move fast. Our beers are enjoyed in 60 countries around the world, exported either through our own export organisations or a wide network of partners. None of the above would be possible without our team of 7,400 great professionals, who are passionate about what they do.
