Carlsberg Asia has commenced the construction of its first international brewery in Bago, Myanmar.
This new brewery marks the second biggest expansion program announced by the company across Asia in October 2013.
Recently, the brewing giant announced plans to establish a new 10 million hectoliter greenfield brewery at Fengyi Innovation Industrial Park, in Dali, China, as part of its strategic partnership with Provincial Government of Yunan.
The Myanmar brewery will be located on a 54 acre site and is expected to create employment for 500 people directly and to thousands of other indirectly.
Carlsberg Group CEO Jørgen Buhl Rasmussen said: "China and Myanmar's breweries will both embrace modern brewing technology whilst placing significant focus on the environmental impact."
Myanmar Carlsberg managing director Daniel Sjogren said that they will have access to good quality water and the famous Bago rice.
"Other raw materials such as malted barley and hops will be imported according to Carlsberg Group's high quality global specifications," Sjogren added.
