European Drinks up 20%

European Drinks group last year saw its turnover increase 20%, said Ioan Micula (pictured above), general manager and one of the group’s owners. Again, Micula would not disclose the nominal value of the group’s turnover, only saying it had revolved around 500 million dollars in 2001. According to statistics, the group’s four largest companies logged about $375m turnover in 2001. “This growth was possible because we made many investments,” Micula said. ZF
