The Munich-based company said earlier today (19 March) that Asia Pacific has become one of its most important export markets. “We are very satisfied with our export results,” said Marcus Korte, Paulaner’s head of international sales. “The strong growth in Asia and the Pacific Region, with 40% growth there exceeding even the most optimistic forecasts. This puts us 20% ahead of our goals.”
