About us

From humble beginnings in 1961 in Eastern France to global leader today, we produce the malt you’ll find in the finest beers, spirits and baking products of the world.

Every day, we are driven by an obsession to help our customers succeed through sustainable innovation.

Caring for the grain is our culture and the only way to make high quality malts.

We proudly belong to VIVESCIA, one of the largest farmer–owned cooperatives in France.

The malting process in 6 steps

1

Barley cultivation

Quality malting barley is carefully selected and grown in the best terroirs.

2

Steeping

The barley is soaked in water to trigger the germination process.

3

Germination

The barley grains are allowed to germinate under controlled conditions.

4

Kilning

The malt is dried in a kiln to stop germination and develop its aromas.

5

Deculming

The rootlets are separated from the malt.

6

Grain silo storage

The malt is stored in silos before being shipped to our customers.

Malt produced in 13 countries around the world
