OREANDA-NEWS  Kaluga Distillery "Kristall" LLC (KLVZ) has filed an application with the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) for the manufacturer of herbal liqueur (bitter) Jagermeister — German Mast-Jagermeister SE. About this "Tape.ru" reported in KLVZ.

"The reason for the conflict is unfair competition on the part of the German company, which puts pressure on the manufacturer and retailers, trying to prohibit Kristall from producing its own bitters in Russia under the Alter Heiler and Konig Heiler brands, and wholesalers and retail chains from selling these products," the report says.

Representatives of the plant noted that in October KLVZ brought new brands of bitter to the Russian market. Then Alter Heiler deliveries of the "Red and White" network began, Konig Heiler bitter entered the shelves of the "Pyaterochka", "Verny" networks, and also began to be supplied to large regional distributors. Later, the plant announced that it intends to increase the annual output to 300,000-360,000 decaliters (dal).
