Ukraine: SABMiller’s Sarmat brewery manages to reduce loss in 2009

Last year, SABMiller’s Sarmat brewery managed to reduce its loss by more than three times as compared to 2008, to UAH162.407 mln, Biz.liga.net posted on March, 26.

The company’s sales proceeds grew by 6% versus 2008. However, the brewer’s mainstream beers suffered a more than 10% decline in demand.

The premium segment nevertheless grew by 2-3%, Sarmat said.

Donetsk-based Sarmat brewery was acquired by the world’s second-largest brewer SABMiller in June 2008.
