Australian beverages group Lion has flagged plans to divest its Lion Dairy & Drinks division in order to focus on its brewing assets. Lion CEO Stuart Irvine is upbeat about the outlook for Lion Dairy & Drinks in the wake of a turnaround program, but he adds that the Japanese-controlled company has opted to focus on other growth areas following a review of the dairy assets. Lion is particularly bullish about its prospects in the global craft beer market. Lion Dairy & Drinks’ brands include Pura milk, Dare Iced Coffee and King Island cheese.
