KK Company Pivovary Ltd Martin owns breweries in Martin, Ilava, Bytca and at the same time this firm is an owner of only beer tin-filling line in Slovakia. The installation of filling-line capacity of 200 thousand hectoliters required investments of Sk150 million. Except the brewery in Martin this line is used by another 5 Slovak breweries and the Czech brewery Radegast Nosovice, which is the largest customer of the company. The annual order of the Czech firm in Martin represents filling of 30 thousand hectoliters, which on the other hand creates income of Sk15 - 18 million for the KK Company. Another Czech partner cooperating with the company owned by Karol Konarik is Galena Opava. KK Company damps the beer "Konbier" production in Ilava brewery in favor of the production of soft-drink Kofola. After purchasing of trade-mark from Galena Opava his company became the authorized manufacturer of this popular pop-drink in Slovakia. The recent capacity achieves 20 thousand hectoliters and prospectively is expected to rise up to 30 or even 60 thousand hectoliters.
