About the Company
We have experienced rapid growth over the past 70 years. Our international presence began in the 1990s and has ramped up over the decades. For almost 10 years, we have been developing more sustainable supply chains to achieve our ambition of becoming the leader in agro-ecological transition. With 29 malting plants in 16 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, and more than 1,400 employees, we produce 2,400,000 tonnes of malt annually to meet the demands of our customers - large breweries and craft brewers, distillers and other industrial players - around the world. Thanks to our presence in the world's main malting barley regions, as close as possible to farmers, we can guarantee our customers an exceptional malt capable of meeting the most demanding specifications, within a local and sustainable approach. Our production, sales and logistics teams around the world are committed to meeting our customers' expectations in terms of quality, reliability and flexibility every day. Our wealth is based on the performance of our production facilities and the unique know-how of our teams, from the support of our partner farmers to the design and production of quality malts that are increasingly sustainable and create value for every link in the chain, from farmer to consumer.
