Baltika Brewery (Russian: Пивоваренная компания "Балтика") is the second largest brewing company in Europe[1] and the leader of the Russian beer market with over 38% market share. It is headquartered in St. Petersburg.
The Baltika brand was one of the two Russian brands (together with Lukoil) included in the Financial Times Top100 Most Valuable Global Brands list in 2007. However, Baltika was not included on the list in 2009. Baltika is one of the top three brands in the Interbrand Best Global Brands 2012 report.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Carlsberg Group attempted to sell the company.[2] However, in July 2023 the Russian government seized the company and its assets under the rules for businesses from the Unfriendly Countries List.[3]
