Carlsberg Malaysia, a trailblazer in the brewing industry, celebrates its 55th anniversary with a bold move toward sustainability and innovation. The brewery, located in Shah Alam, has announced a record-breaking RM343 million investment in advanced brewing technologies as part of its ongoing transformation. This initiative underscores Carlsberg Malaysia’s commitment to sustainable growth, innovation, and operational efficiency.
Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, proudly stated, “This record investment over the last three years, amounting to a cumulative RM343 million, is a testament to our steadfast commitments to quality, sustainability, and future growth.”
A Milestone in Brewing Innovation
The transformation involves significant upgrades, including RM200 million allocated to cutting-edge bottling and canning lines and RM140 million dedicated to energy-efficient production technologies. These upgrades are not just about enhancing capacity and reducing utility consumption—they’re about transforming how beer is brewed responsibly.
According to Clini, “As we celebrate 55 years of operations in Malaysia, we look forward to accelerating progress towards zero carbon emissions in a way that is both commercially and socially sustainable.”
