As Carlsberg’s largest brewery in Asia, it is equipped with advanced technology to produce premium-quality beer more efficiently and sustainably.

He elaborated that the project is not solely focused on expansion, but also aims to improve consumer satisfaction, reinforce the supply chain, and generate enduring value for the communities the company serves.
