Carlsberg (CPH: CARL-B) is a publicly listed company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark that owns 6 consumer brands, and has 1 recorded transaction.[1]
Carlsberg was founded in Copenhagen in 1847 and its laboratory isolated the first pure yeast strain for lager brewing in 1883, then published the method rather than patenting it, which changed brewing worldwide. The Carlsberg Foundation, which funds scientific research, remains its controlling shareholder.
Heineken and Carlsberg bid jointly for Scottish & Newcastle at about GBP 7.8 billion and split it between them rather than one buying the whole company. Heineken took the British and Irish business including Strongbow, Carlsberg took the French and Russian operations including Kronenbourg. A joint bid to divide a target is unusual, and it is why two competing brewers date their ownership of these brands to the same day.
