Holsten-Brauerei AG was founded in 1879. In 2004, the year of its 125th anniversary, it became a subsidiary of Carlsberg, the world’s fifth largest international brewery group.

around 3.2 million hectolitres
Carlsberg Deutschland is one of the leading breweries in
northern and eastern Germany with a production volume
of 6.172 million hectolitres (hl) of beer in 2007.
Since April 2004 the Holsten Group of breweries became
part of Carlsberg Deutschland, thus making the Carlsberg
corporation the world’s fifth largest brewery
group.
Carlsberg Deutschland includes the Mecklenburg brewery in
Lübz, the Feldschlösschen breweries in Dresden
and Brunswick and the Carlsberg Vertriebsgesellschaft
West in Krefeld. In 2007 the Group achieved total beer
sales in the order of 5.208 million hl in Germany, plus
another 0.963 million hl that were either exported or
sold as licensed beer.
The breweries of the Carlsberg Holsten group sponsor
sports, nature conservation and cultural activities as
well as popular events from the general-purpose
arena.
The Holsten brewery focuses its sport sponsoring
activities on local teams playing in the Federal German
leagues and other crowd-drawing events. It is one of the
main sponsors of Hamburg’s Color Line
general-purpose arena - one of the most modern in Europe
- and the home ground of the DEL Hamburg Freezers ice
hockey team. Holsten also has a very cordial relationship
with the two local soccer teams HSV and St. Pauli.
The Holsten brewery has a strong commitment to nature
conservation. For many decades it has been donating
substantial amounts of money for the preservation of the
North German salt marshes and coastal shallows, and also
for the protection of the white-tailed eagle and the
crane in Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and
Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.

In 1922 Richard Eissenbeiss acquired the former Tivoli brewery in Hamburg-Eidelstedt to start the production of malt and pitch production. Over decades the malthouse delivered increasing amount of malt to breweries, out of which some were also partially owned by the Eisenbeiss-family.
Regular investments in the malthouse
accompanied growth of the families beer activities,
reaching the actual malting capacity of 110.000mt of malt

association is producing malt in Hamburg, Mülheim,
Hürth, Worms, Clingen, Sangerhausen as well as in
the subsidiary in Bydgocscz, Poland. Both Mülheim

We move more than just liquids: GEA Tuchenhagen
There is no secret to our success: It is based on strictly practice-oriented product development and individual service. This leads to well-engineered process components and services for smooth production processes. Regardless if milk, beer, beverages, pasty food products or fine chemicals are flowing in your pipe system - what counts is product quality and economical production.
The origins of GEA Tuchenhagen date back to the year 1931, when Otto Tuchenhagen founded an engineering firm in Kiel for the new construction and modernization of dairy plants. Already in 1967, the world's first mixproof valve was launched on the market. This valve makes it possible to separate two media in a completely mixproof manner.
Today we have become a reliable, pioneering partner for new trends and production requirements. We focus on the continuous improvement of process reliability, hygiene and efficiency. The company is located in Büchen today and has a modern production department, a competent product management and a strong R&D department. At the EBC congress, a post-congress tour to the production department and the development centre of GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH in Büchen will be offered.
Success requires a good product
This experience applies to both beer and a brewery
plant. Therefore, GEA Brewery Systems focuses on one key
aspect: product quality and customer satisfaction. With
this goal in mind, we engineer and manufacture customized
solutions. Based on a close dialogue with our customers,
we offer effective and efficient systems — from a
single source. In addition to outstanding brewery
technology, our customers can benefit from stability,
innovation power and local presence. As a company of GEA
Group, we provide the reliability of a global
player.
With two engineering centres for Huppmann brewhouses in
Kitzingen and Tuchenhagen cold blocks in Buchen near
Hamburg we are the brewery integrators in the GEA Group.
As leading supplier we provide individual and safe
solutions for the entire hot and cold process area.
Solutions that pay off quickly due to their reliability,
quality and convenience, and ensure minimum life cycle
cost.
At Büchen, GEA Brewery Systems will show their
solutions in the cold area: The beneficial combination of
brewing technology, conceptual planning and engineering
know-how has led to pioneering patents. One example is
the novel ECO-MATRIX piping concept. As the first
supplier for the cold process area we have developed
cellar piping systems that transfer hygienic design
criteria from the individual component to the complete
plant.

Flensburger Brauerei
Flensburg Brewery is an independent family business. And we want to stay that way. To achieve that goal we are constantly moving forward, combining tradition with innovation and focusing onthe quality of our products.
There were good reasons why five Flensburg citizens signed the document that set up the Flensburg Brewery on 6 September 1888. They had found an ideal site, a well with crystal-clear water for brewing and a means of obtaining the ice needed for the lagering cellars.
Even when all other breweries had changed to crown corks, Emil Petersen stayed true to his swing stopper bottle – and this is still the characteristic feature of Flensburger beer today. This swing stopper bottle and the "plop" it makes when opened have long been the beer’s trademark – and made us the world's most successful brewery in the swing stopper segment.
We brew beer to the strict standards of the 1516 German Purity Law. And nothing has changed up to now – except, of course, the technology. It has made considerable progress since the 16th century – to the benefit of beer-drinkers, and not least the quality of the product. By constantly investing in new technology, we have kept pace with the state of the art in brewing. Our new filling station for the swing stopper bottles is a good example. It is the worlds biggest with a capacity of up to one million swing stopper bottles a day.
KRONES AG’s Flensburg
facility
The Krones Group, headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany,
plans, develops, and manufactures machines and complete
lines for the fields of process technology, bottling,
canning and packaging, plus intralogistics.Every day,
millions of bottles, cans and specially-shaped containers
are “processed” on lines from Krones;
particularly in breweries, the soft-drinks sector and at
still-wine, sparkling-wine and spirits producers, but also
in the food and luxury goods sectors,
One of the production facilities is the plant in Flensburg, where machines and lines for cleaning and product treatment technology, plus PET recycling, are developed and manufactured. The plant was founded by Gerhard Zierk in 1949 under the name of Zierk GmbH, and acquired by KRONES AG in 1988. With a current workforce of 558, the plant ranks among the biggest employers in Flensburg. In everything we do for enhancing customer satisfaction, productivity and corporate competitiveness, we never lose sight of the crucial factor for success: people.
This is why training is one of the major priorities in our company: in Flensburg alone, 49 trainees are currently being skilled in various specialisms. There are also close ties with Flensburg University of Applied Science. We offer any students interested attractive options for internships, for writing their dissertations or for sandwich courses in our firm.
On a production area of approximately 21,000 m², the plant in Flensburg manufactures about 200 machines and units a year. Thanks to its superlative quality and continual design-enhancement of its products, KRONES assures not only its status as the world market leader, but also jobs in the region.
Against the background of increasingly scarce resources and the thrust for sustainability, the group’s youngest operation, PET recycling, is playing a progressively more important role. Developed in-house by Krones, the process turns used PET bottles into food and beverage-quality flakes. The material can thus be re-used in the bottle production process.
