Pyynikin Haljala Brewery.
Pyynikin Brewing Company from Tampere, Finland, has made a preliminary agreement for the purchase of real estate and equipment for the Estonian Haljala brewery. With the new brewery, the company will significantly increase its annual production. The transaction has no effect on the company's domestic operations. The company’s main location remains in Tampere.

The beer factory in Haljala, north-eastern Estonia, is the third largest in Estonia in terms of production volume and capacity. The brewery has been owned by the Danish listed company Harboes Bryggeri A/S for almost 30 years.

Haljala brewery has produced at it’s best of 20 million litres of beer a year. The total capacity is 30 million litres, including soft drinks, juices and RTD drinks.

In addition to the brewery's properties and equipment, the deal includes four hectares of land, a state-of-the-art laboratory and transportation equipment. Harboe's Estonian brands and the brewing company AS Viru Õlu are not included in the agreement.

“Our production has grown at a rapid pace in recent years. We have been feverishly looking for more capacity as we have not been able to fulfil all our orders. Delivery problems have hampered our business and slowed down growth”, says Tuomas Pere, founder of Pyynikin Brewing Company.

Pyynikin Brewing Company urgently needed to find production space and manufacturing capacity. For the currently started year, the need has been to increase production by at least 80 percent, which means about two million litres in the manufacture of beverages.
