Our Shareholders
The Group’s rapid and profitable growth and its continuous efforts to improve performance in all areas are our two vectors of value creation. In the choices we make day to day, we give priority to those actions that generate the most value for the shareholders, whose commitment to the Malteurop Group is for the long term.
Malteurop’s shareholders have thorough knowledge of the malt industry and a good understanding of its specific issues.
That is explained by the fact that Cofimalt, the holding company that controls 100% of Malteurop, is made up of 18 grain cooperatives and investors from the agribusiness world, grouped together directly or via Siclae.
The grower members of these cooperatives, committed for the long term to barley growing, operate in the northeast quadrant of France, where the soil and climate are well suited to growing brewing barley. These cooperatives have committed capital to the processing of barley into malt.
Together they represent a major agricultural and logistical entity, collecting more than 13 million tons of cereal grains, including more than 3 million tons of barley.
Their total storage capacity is some 10 million tons of grain, using more than 1,000 silos.
They employ more than 6,200 people working to meet the needs of some 49,000 grower members.
