Capacity Building for Franco-Belgian Malt Houses

In a context of increased competition in the craft beer market, Malteries Franco-Belges plans to strengthen its production and distribution capacities for specialty malts. This initiative is part of the launch of the Country Malt Group brand in Europe by Soufflet Malt. The objective is to develop a targeted distribution model to meet the specific needs of craft brewers and distillers.

From January 2027, the operations of Malterie du Château in Belgium could be transferred to the Pithiviers malt house in France. This transfer aims to optimize operations and increase the production of specialty malts. It will allow Malteries Franco-Belges to expand its distribution in Europe, while leveraging the reputation and expertise of Malterie du Château.
