In Brief: Intercell in Bulgaria; More cash for Crowley; Battle of the brewers
Ostroleka-based paper and packaging producer Intercell will begin production
at Bulgarian paper factory Stamboliyski this month. Intercell's contract to
manage the factory, with an option to purchase it at a later date, was made
possible by financial aid from the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) and the International Finance Corporation. (Puls Biznesu,
p. 7) ... Polish Internet service provider Crowley has increased its initial
capital from zl. 38 million to over zl. 59 million. The money will be spent
on investments. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7) ... The four largest brewers, Zywiec,
Kompania Piwowarska, Carlsberg Okocim and Brau Union Polska, controlled
82.7% of the Polish beer market in March, with Zywiec remaining the
undisputed market leader. One of its brands, Warka, strengthened its
position with a 2.3% rise in sales. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) A.D.
