About the Company
Bairds
Malt Limited was formed in March 1999, when two existing companies, Hugh Baird
& Sons Limited and Moray Firth Maltings plc, merged to form a new
company. We currently operate four malting plants within the UK and
produce malt primarily for the brewing and distilling industries. Approximately
10% of our malt is exported to customers around the world who want to use
British malt in their brewing or distilling operations.
Our
merchanting business, Scotgrain Agriculture Limited, procures malting barley
for our own use and trades in barley, other grains, and related agricultural
commodities. In 2013 we launched Brewers Select, our one-stop-shop
supplier of quality ingredients and equipment for craft and microbrewers.
Bairds
Malt Limited is part of United Malt Group, which is an international,
performance-driven malt supplier operating 18 strategically located malt
production facilities in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United
Kingdom. UMG is the world’s fourth largest commercial malt producer
supplying malt to brewers and distillers around the world from the largest of
multinational organisations to the smallest craft brewers. We celebrate
our people and we work together to deliver on what we promise. We are
focused on developing a skilled workforce and encouraging diversity of both
people and thinking.
