Description

Heineken Slovakia decided to close its brewery in Nitra, where the best seller Heineken beer in Slovakia — the Corgoň - was produced. The production will be relocated to the other two Heineken breweries in Slovakia (in Hurbanovo and Rimavská Sobota). According to the Heineken president, the decision is a strategic step to strengthen the leading position of Heineken by producing only the most attractive brands.
