Ursus Breweries, a subsidiary of SABMiller plc, is one of the top brewers in Romania. The company is based in Bucharest and owns 4 breweries in Cluj-Napoca, Timişoara, Buzau and Braşov, employing over 1,700 people.〔http://www.wall-street.ro/articol/Companii/80437/Ursus-Breweries-Dupa-un-an-de-alegeri-mediul-de-afaceri-are-nevoie-de-stabilitate.html〕 Ursus Breweries’ brands are: Ursus, Timisoreana, Ciucas, Azuga, Stejar, Redd's, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Pilsner Urquell and Miller. Ursus is one of the best-selling beers in Romania. The beer is advertised under the slogan ''Regele berii în România'' ("The King of Beers in Romania"). It is brewed in Buzau. ==History== The first legal predecessor of the company was founded in 1878 in Mănăștur, which is now part of Cluj-Napoca. The company and the beer gained its name in 1927 when it demerged from Frigyes Czell si Fiii Grupa Dr. Wilhelm Czell SA, a large brewery group at the time. The brewery was nationalised in 1948, but privatised again during the 1990s, when SABMiller gained full control over the company. In 1996 South African Breweries purchased Vulturul Buzau and, in 1997, Pitber Pitești and URSUS S.A. Cluj-Napoca. In 1998 Vulturul and Pitber became URSUS S.A. In 2001 URSUS S.A. purchased Bere Timișoreana S.A. In 2005 the company changed its name to Ursus Breweries S.A. In 2009 Ursus Breweries S.A. purchased Bere Azuga S.A. After slowly removing the 'Cluj' name from the Ursus beer label, Ursus Breweries announced on November 18, 2010 that it will close the Ursus brewery in Cluj-Napoca due to high costs and lower demand. The Cluj-Napoca brewery is the place where Ursus has been bottled for more than 100 years.〔() Ursus closing original Cluj-Napoca factory - Note: Page in Romanian language〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ursus Breweries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
