Carlsberg Danmark

ProMark unlocks the productivity taps at Carlsberg

Founded by J.C. Jacobsen in 1847, Carlsberg Danmark is part of the Carlsberg Group, the world’s third largest brewery group.

Today, Carlsberg employs 1,500 people in Denmark who produce and supply Carlsberg, Tuborg and Coca-Cola products. The products are sold in more than 150 countries and the group sells approx. 114 million bottles of beer – every day!

Carlsberg Danmark has used ProMark since 1997. In 2005, Carlsberg initiated a thorough upgrade of the solution which – at the same time –  was expanded to include the entire logistics and supply chain area too.

 Productivity optimisation at Carlsberg

”The close integration to SAP HR clearly strengthens our basis for optimisation and decision-making. The better we are at scheduling our staff correctly, the better we produce. We must keep the operation under tight control and constantly ensure that our production equipment is utilised optimally. Here, ProMark is a valuable tool.”
