Due to the constantly rising prices in the catering industry, the favorite drink of many Austrians is currently making headlines again and again. Now the Brauunion itself is caught in the crossfire. The large company with a penchant for beer is accused of abusing its dominant market position. Krone+ looked into the background.
Gösser, Fohrenburger, Zipfer or Kaiser – what is your favorite beer? Whichever hop brew you choose, they all have one thing in common: the profits flow to the same fund. 20 beer brands from Austria now belong to the largest brewery in the Alpine Republic. In total, the Brauunion employs approximately 2,700 people in the country, making it one of the larger employers. Is it all just luck!?
