Carlsberg Returns To Growth As Turnaround Plan Starts To Pay Off

Carlsberg has returned to growth, putting an end to several years in the wilderness for the lager stalwart. Both Carlsberg's flagship "green" Pilsner and Export brands have seen an uptake in supermarket value sales - albeit marginally - over the last 12 months, according to latest data. Exports grew by £1.6m (0.9%) to £56.2m over the year ending 11 August, while Pilsner clawed its way into the black with a gain of around £200k (0.2%), bringing the total brand's value to £201.6m (Nielsen).
