Slavutych begins sales of National brand beer in Moldova

Slavutych Brewery (SLAV: BUY) announced yesterday it began selling new beer brand National in Moldova. The new launch is part of the company’s strategy to boost its share of the Moldavian market by 8% to 25% in 2009. Olha Pankiv: Carlsberg does not have production assets in Moldova, and we view this market as a good opportunity for its Ukrainian subsidiary to increase exports, already up by 65% in 1H08 to 2.65 mln dal.
