Denmark's Carlsberg A/S (CARL-A.KO), the world's fourth-largest
brewer, is looking at major growth initiatives, possibly in the
shape of joint venture acquisitions, its chairman told Danish
business daily Borsen in an interview published Friday.
"We have entered a period where our structure is in place after
the major growth leaps we've taken. Now, we'd very much like
Carlsberg to find a model for new growth initiatives to bring us a
good step further," Carlsberg Supervisory Board Chairman Povl
Krogsgaard-Larsen is quoted as saying.
"We are at a place where something big is about to happen again
in Carlsberg, that's the sense I have. It's difficult to see us
take a quantum leap as big as the ones we've taken before, but we
have the capacity to take a smaller quantum leap,"
Krogsgaard-Larsen said.
Carlsberg has grown rapidly, but still less than the top-three
players, InBev, SAB Miller and Heineken, which have led an
aggressive consolidation in the industry.
"We are up against giants, and that's a new situation,"
Krogsgaard-Larsen said, adding that Carlsberg must seek
alternatives to straight acquisitions to handle the fierce
competition. Carlsberg could seek partnerships for joint venture
acquisitions, he said.
"It's conceivable. There are many thoughts at Carlsberg right
now," he said.
