Kompania Piwowarska is a Polish brewing group based in Poznań, established in 1999. Since 2017 it has been owned by Asahi Breweries. Kompania Piwowarska currently has three breweries: Lech Browary Wielkopolski in Poznań, Tyskie Browary Książęce in Tychy and Browar Dojlidy in Białystok. Tyskie Browary Książęce (Princely Brewery Tychy), one of the oldest breweries in Europe, was founded in 1629.[1]
The three breweries have a total capacity of 15.1 million hectolitres.[2]
The company was owned by SABMiller from 2009 to 2017. As part of the agreements made with regulators before Anheuser-Busch InBev was allowed to acquire SABMiller in 2016, it was announced on December 13, 2016, that Kompania Piwowarska would be sold to Asahi Breweries of Japan.[3][4][5][6]
A figure of more than €5bn ($5.32) for SABMiller's eastern European brands had been floating around in recent weeks as a likely price tag.
