The Danish brewing group, Carlsberg, said it intends to expand its operations in Europe, and now is considering making acquisition in Spain and Portugal. The range of acquisitions is planned to be around $660 million to $1.32 billion.

In recent years, Carlsberg has expanded its influence in Eastern European markets, investing in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Croatia and even Russia with its joint venture Baltic Beverage Holding (BBH).
