Integrating the malt value chain
Malt is the main ingredient of beer - it takes as much as 200 grams of malt to make a liter of beer. The other ingredients are water, hops (two grams per liter of beer), and yeast (one centiliter per liter of beer).
In a worldwide context in which malting barley is becoming scarce, geographical imbalances and mismatches between cereal-grain production zones and beer consumption zones are increasing. Securing supplies of raw materials now requires skills in six key areas. To deal with this complex situation, Malteurop deploys different organizational and procurement-chain management models.
The term “whisky” refers to any alcohol distilled from fermented grains, whether or not the grain is malted.
Thanks to its experience and its international scope, Malteurop has developed real expertise over the entire malting-barley chain and a complete and dynamic approach to all aspects of barley supply and procurement.
Malteurop is first and foremost an industrial group engaged in the primary processing of barley into malt.
At its base our profession consists in ensuring the availability of malts in the right place, at the right time, at the right price, in the desired quality and quantities, at the point of secondary processing by our brewer customers.
In order to offer its customers new gains in added value, Malteurop now integrates intangible competencies such as risk management. Malteurop handles management of industrial risks, risks of interruption of supplies of raw materials, and financial risks related to the volatility of malting barley prices.
