Scăderea vânzărilor de bere din Germania a dus la închiderea unei fabrici vechi de 400 de ani

The Wolters brewery in Germany, operational for 400 years, is set to close due to declining beer demand. Approximately 90 employees have been informed of the closure. The brewery filed for insolvency earlier this year, citing falling sales and failed attempts to find an investor. The mayor of Braunschweig called the closure "extremely painful." The NGG union criticized the rapid decision to cease operations, suggesting it was more of an emergency stop than a structured restructuring. Efforts to save the Wolters brand are ongoing. The German beer market has seen a significant contraction, with record sales declines reported last year.
