Red Bull and Rauch cleared to build can plant in Brandenburg

Updates

  • 2026-09-20 · Edited before publication: Two issues. The summary opens with the court ruling, the older and less material fact; the clearance belongs first. And the 'why it matters' line named Ball, Crown and Ardagh, none of which appear in the excerpt; the point stands without them. The excerpt is short and paywalled but supports the clearance, the location and the two beverage makers.
  • 2026-09-20 · Edited before publication: The source says a decision on a new development plan has been taken and that the two companies can pursue their plans; it does not say the plan was approved. Bullet corrected to match. Source is paywalled at the second sentence, so no further detail can be added. Materiality 2 stands.
