Developing in step with the market

The stable increase in beer consumption worldwide and the changing needs of brewers, due to their grouping together, announce a promising future for the development of the malt business. The last two campaigns have showed the strategic importance of brewing barley supplies. In this regard, Boortmalt intends to strengthen its position in its specialities: from barley production control right through to "customer dispatch" logistics.


Philippe Lehrmann - Chief Commercial Officer.
" Our strategy then is to assist and supply more high value malt to our key customers, in line with their demands. This is achieved through our barley sourcing abilities, state-of-the-art high-quality producing malt plant and obviously efficient logistics which once again give us an advantage over many other competitors in terms of export. The export market is the one that is expanding the most".
