Carlsberg Ukraine (Zaporizhia), a producer of beer, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, is closing its offices in Kharkiv, Odesa, and Donetsk, the company reported in the information disclosure system of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC).
According to the report, the company’s supervisory board made the decision on February 25, 2026.
The reasons given for the liquidation of the divisions are the lack of need for their further operation, lack of personnel, management, and property. In addition, the representative offices did not actually carry out activities corresponding to the purpose of their creation.
The functions of these separate divisions were to protect and represent the company’s interests in the respective regions.
According to data from Opendatabot, Carlsberg Ukraine increased its revenue by 15.5% to UAH 12.488 billion in 2024, net profit by 19.4% to UAH 2.18 billion, debt obligations by 34.9% to UAH 5.11 billion, and assets by 33.1% to UAH 13.84 billion. The company currently employs 1,310 people.
The closure of Carlsberg Ukraine’s separate representative offices does not mean a reduction or curtailment of the company’s activities in the regions.
The separate representative offices were established in the early 2000s during a period of active investment in production facilities in Kyiv, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia. Today, given current operating models, there is no need to maintain separate legal representative structures.
At the same time, Carlsberg Ukraine continues to operate throughout Ukraine. Our production sites in Kyiv, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia are operating as usual. The sales teams continue to ensure the company’s full presence in all regions of the country, providing continuous service to partners and customers.
The change in the number of representative offices does not affect the company’s strategic course for development and investment in Ukraine. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the Carlsberg Group has already invested nearly DKK 400 million to support operational stability and the development of Ukrainian business. The company remains consistent in its long-term presence in the country.
We are transforming to work more efficiently, but we remain a reliable employer, a responsible business, and one of the largest taxpayers in Ukraine.
Carlsberg Ukraine is part of the Carlsberg Group, one of the world’s leading brewery groups with a broad portfolio of beer, cider, and non-alcoholic beverage brands. In Ukraine, we represent such brands as Lvivske, Carlsberg, Grimbergen, Kronenbourg 1664, Arsenal, Kvas Taras, Somersby, Battery, Seth&Riley’s Garage, and others. The Carlsberg Group began operations in Ukraine in 1996 and has been one of the largest international investors in the FMCG sector year after year, providing jobs for more than 1,400 people at breweries in Kyiv, Lviv, and Zaporizhia, and more than 23,000 jobs in related industries (agriculture, retail, hotel and restaurant business, media, logistics, etc.). During the full-scale war in Ukraine, Carlsberg Group decided to cease its business in Russia and exit the market. With the support of the Carlsberg Group, Carlsberg Ukraine has implemented more than 50 humanitarian projects worth over UAH 530 million, including the production of drinking water to meet the needs of the population.
