Volfas Engelman brewery is named after its two founders. Since 2012, the CEO of the company is Marius Horbačauskas. It has more than 230 employees, making Volfas Engelman the second-largest brewery in Lithuania. At the moment 99.57 percent of Volfas Engelman shares belong to the Finnish Olvi Company Group. In 1994, the brewery Ragutis underwent privatization and reorganization, becoming a joint-stock company. In 1997, initially, 51 percent of Ragutis shares were acquired by the Pilsner Urquell Group . Later in 1997, Pilsner Urquell transferred a strategic share package to the Estonian company A. le Coq, which is operated by the Finnish company Olvi.[2] I.
