Product and environment quality and safety
Our Customers
Our Customers’ satisfaction has always been the main goal of our operations. Our development and management style have been subordinated to this goal. It underlies our vision and mission.
Raw materials of the highest quality: water, malt, hops and yeast are vital. We top them with state-of-the-art technology and offer high and stable quality as well as health safety.
On an ongoing basis we administer the production process as well as the storing and transport conditions as part of our sales and distribution. During numerous training sessions on-trade, employees are taught how to store and serve beer.
We are also very close to the local communities in the areas of our operations. Our intension is not to interfere with the natural environment. Care for nature is a vital part of our values.
