Pivovarna Laško is one of the best European breweries. After Slovenia gained independence, the company applied new commercial strategies to become independent in the brewing industry, which was more and more global and connected. Capital connections at the beginning of the 21th century resulted in an independent and competitive combined beverage industry, as it is today. The combined operation within the Pivovarna Laško Group is successful in adapting to demanding operating conditions, and results in the marketing of 30 leading brands of beer, natural and mineral waters, juices and non alcoholic drinks.
