Romaqua, the biggest producer of mineral water in
Romania, operates 17 bottling plants at five locations
for water, fruit juices and beer. Committed to its quality
promise to the customers, Romaqua largely relies on the
production lines of the German manufacturer Krones.
When it comes to product quality and monitoring, Romaqua
has now taken a further step into the future and
installed the first fully automated device for measuring
the microbiological quality of water in its most advanced
mineral water production line in Borsec,
which was only completed in 2019. page 10
With a population
of 52 million people,
South Korea is
one of the smaller
countries (both
population and
geography-wise)
in the Asia region.
But, despite its
small size it is one
of the largest and
most exciting beer
markets in the Asian region. With a consumption of 20.14
million hl of beer in 2018, it was the 21st largest consumer
of beer globally. With a per capita consumption of over
39 liters, the country’s beer industry has registered steady
growth rates during the last whole decade. In this article,
BREWING AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY INTERNATIONAL
presents an overview of the South Korean
beer market and industry. page 14
Skol’s brewery
on the outskirts of
Rwanda’s capital
Kigali has only
been operating
since 2010. But the
purely malt-based
beer brewed there
is being gratifyingly
well received by
consumers. So when
the existing bottling
line had come up
against the limits of
ist capacity in 2017,
it was time for a new one. page 26
