Carlsberg group selects Expereo to deliver internet connectivity in 40 countries

Expereo has announced Carlsberg Group as its latest enterprise customer.

Carlsberg, one of the leading brewery groups in the world, has chosen Expereo to manage its Internet connectivity in 40 countries at 160 sites.

Carlsberg Group brews some of the world’s most popular beers. With over 40,000 employees and 140 brands in its portfolio, it is one of the largest employers in Denmark.

Expereo was selected to implement and manage a new Internet underlay network to ensure seamless performance wherever Carlsberg employees, partners and customers are located. This Internet network is a critical component in ensuring Carlsberg had the secure, predictable global application performance it expected. It was vital that the chosen partner offered a managed Internet service from a single partner, allowing the internal IT team at Carlsberg to focus on higher priority tasks.

Ben Elms, Chief Revenue Officer at Expereo, said: “Carlsberg were looking for a managed internet network partner to lead the consolidation of their current estate into one network infrastructure. They needed a partner who could ensure the network underlay could deliver the platform for their new SASE roll-out. The real-time visibility and insight into network performance enabled by expereoOne will be a game-changer for Carlsberg and partners, providing them with actionable insights and control over network performance and management.”

Carlsberg’s evolving market demands required the partner to have hyper-local knowledge and expertise. With five global support centers, and teams on the ground speaking the local language, the global Internet network will be delivered by Expereo by the end of March 2024.

Laurent Gaertner, Global Director of Networks at Carlsberg, said: “We wanted a partner that understands the Internet and brings us unrivalled connectivity wherever we are located enabling us to consolidate our network infrastructure as we move from several regional service providers with fragmented technical solutions to one integrated network and security stack. We are looking forward to the ongoing partnership and continuing on our journey to accelerate Carlsberg’s Digital Transformation.”
