The company has over 650 employees and has paid to the Romanian state taxes and fees for 2020 amounting to over 196 million lei.

“I am proud to be part of the Bergenbier S.A. Family, a company that in a difficult 2020 year for all, has shown solidarity, unity and support for partners and customers. Together we found the strength to continue at the same level. Our success was determined by the strong team from Bergenbier, true professionals in the beer industry, who worked with enviable agility, together with our partners in modern and traditional trade and distribution partners. I have felt the passion and determination of everyone during all this time and I thank them for their friendship and partnership. We are determined to continue on the path of responsibility and sustainability in compliance with the principles of a fair business environment, to improve every year the footprint of the beer we produce, to make more efficient use of resources in any activity”, said Mihai Voicu, General Manager of Bergenbier SA.

In 2020, our care for the environment and the degree of involvement in sustainability projects have remained unchanged. In this regard, Bergenbier S.A. carried out the third stage of the project “You cool down and reforest!”, one of the largest reforestation projects organized by a brewer. Out of the desire to give back to nature from the coolness it offers and due to the long-term commitment to maintaining and caring for planted areas, along with friends from “Plantam fapte bune in Romania” and Forest Schools were planted another 50,000 seedlings, their total number reaching 150,000 in 2020.

Together with the Romanian Brewers Association, Bergenbier S.A. supported the campaign #MancareDeSuflet #SOSHoReCa, which aims to draw consumers’ attention to the economic situation in the hospitality sector, strongly affected by the interruption of activity during the state of emergency.

Moreover, the company was involved in the project “From the First Line to the First Line!” through which the sanitary units from all over Romania received materials of strict necessity in the treatment of COVID-19 infected persons.
