Portugal & Angola: Sociedade Central de Cervejas expects to launch its Angolan brewery by 2016
|
Heineken’s Sociedade Central de Cervejas (SCC) expects to start brewing its beers at a new facility in Angola by 2016, Sol reported on December 5.
The company’s CEO, Ronald den Elzen, said its joint Angolan venture with Sodiba is currently constructing a brewery, which is expected to start test-brewing in the first quarter of 2015.
Angola accounts for 60% of SCC total beer exports. The company expects its shipments to Angola to show a 15-20% decline this year, as the volumes have been affected by strikes of port employees, the introduction of a new certification by the Angolan government, and higher customs taxes.
Mr. den Elzen said it would be the first decline the company ever suffered on the Angolan market. “Next year we expect to register double-digit growth,” he added.

The Czech Republic: Budějovický Budvar might appeal the French verdict on the “BUD” designation of origin
|
Czech brewery Budějovický Budvar is considering whether it will file an appeal to the Supreme Court over the verdict of the French Appellate Court that the "BUD" designation of origin, owned by Budvar, is invalid, Budvar's spokesman Petr Samec was quoted as saying by Prague Post on December 5.
The French court ruled that the "BUD" trademark cannot be protected as a designation of origin in France, confirming an earlier verdict of a lower-instance court against that Budvar had appealed, brewing group and Budvar's rival Anheuser-Busch InBev said in a press release on December 5.
The decision strengthens the position in trademarks of Anheuser-Busch InBev in France, the company said.
"The court's verdict has not taken effect yet. We are now analyzing our chances of success in a possible appeal to the Supreme Court with our lawyers," Samec said.
Europe's Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM) had granted the registration for the "BUD" trademark in the entire European Union to AB InBev in June already.
It did so after Budvar lost a dispute over the trademark at an EU court in January this year.
Court disputes over the BUDWEISER trademark have dragged since 1907.

Greece: Olympic Brewery to expand in three new markets
|
Greece’s Olympic Brewery SA is expanding its activities in three new markets - Canada, Brazil and Russia - expecting the first beer exports by the start of the new year, Capital.gr reported on December 5.
Yiannis Hitos, chairman and chief executive of the company, speaking to reporters, said Fix Hellas will become the first Greek beer to enter the Russian market, focusing initially in the Moscow region. At the same time, Olympic Brewery will seek to enter the Brazilian market through a local coffee chain.
Olympic Brewery has established presence in 20 countries, including the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, Cyprus, South Africa, Sweden, Hong Kong and Chile. In 2013, the company signed an agreement to sell its products in all Duty Free Shops in the country.
Olympic Brewery continues implementing its investment programme which envisages the construction of its own brewery factory with a production capacity of 15,000 tons, part of an investment programme for the period 2014-2015. The investment has a budget of around 10 million euros.
Hitos said the domestic beer market will fall by 2-3 pct this year. Olympic Brewery expects to raise its market share to 13.5-14 pct, rising further to 16 pct in 2014. Its turnover is

Pakistan & India: Pakistan’s Murree Brewery looking to expand worldwide through a partnership in India
|
Pakistan’s premier spirit maker is looking for a partner in India to sell its malt beverage in the neighbouring country and harness international exports from there, as export of alcoholic drinks from Pakistan is banned, Dawn.com reported on December 5.
“We gave a franchise to a company over a year ago but that deal has not really materialised so far,” Sabihur Rehman, special assistant to the chief executive of the Murree Brewery Company, said.
“But we are being approached by many Indian firms and a serious discussion is under way with a large Chandigarh-based distribution company, which wants a brewing franchise.”
Murree Brewery was among the foremost companies to develop partnership in India, taking advantage of a liberalised investment regime approved by the Indian government in July last year.
Under the agreement, Murree Brewery allowed Rahul Chandra of Bangalore-based Elpha Engineering and Project to produce and market its beer in India.
However, Mr Chandra has not been able to make any headway and after waiting for more than a year Murree Brewery has decided to look for another partner.
Although the company also produces vodka, gin and rum, its prime brands are single malt whiskies.
“But our speciality is beer as the company has been producing it
