In July 2006, Alexej Bechtin moved within the SABMiller group to Slovakia, where he contributed to exciting and challenging integration project to integrate two Slovak breweries Saris and Topvar into one company within the frame of the second largest global brewing company. Bechtin‘s main task was to implement high standards of common corporate identity as well as internal communication roll-out within a changing company, as it has been for several years in the Czech Republic in Plzensky Prazdroj with breweries in Pilsen, Nosovice (Radegast) and Velke Popovice.

SABMiller has been operating in Slovakia since 1997 when it entered the Saris brewery as a strategic investor. In 2006 the SABMiller acquired the Topvar brewery. Since January 2007, both Topvar and Saris have been integrated into Pivovary Topvar company.
