Integrating the malt value chain
A complete approach to malting barley procurement must take into account these six key areas — which implies good knowledge and prior in-depth analysis of local contexts — and deploy pragmatic, multi-faceted solutions keyed to situations and customer needs in each region.
In the final analysis, for Malteurop there is no single procurement chain, but rather different models of origination and supply of malting barley — models which are modular and scalable to accompany markets and brewers.
At Malteurop these models encourage, wherever possible, the use of local resources and direct relations with growers, in a perspective of sustainability.
In regions that are insufficient producers of suitable barley, Malteurop organizes and secures the necessary procurement flows, adapting to local contexts and the specific needs of brewers.
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.
Barley is especially well suited to malting operations and meets brewers’ needs and expectations. During the different stages of fabrication of malt and beer, the grain is capable of synthesizing and rapidly activating an enzymatic complex.
Malt and its co-products are used essentially in human and animal foods. This being the case, it is vital to be able to guarantee surveillance at all stages to ensure food safety in the marketing of these products.
Working together with grain growers is a natural approach for Malteurop. Firstly because growers are at the very origin of Malteurop and because they are part of the Group’s shareholding structure via their cooperatives.
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.
