Our Business

The global brewing raw material markets have fundamentally changed over recent years showing significant barley shortage, which has driven barley and malt prices to new heights. Analysts confirm that the supply of quality malting barley will remain short over the next decade due to limited suitable and developed growing areas world wide as well as increasing competition for land by other crops such as wheat for biofuel production. Whilst malting capacities have been closed in developed markets such as Western Europe, partly to be replaced by new-built modern malting plants, there is an increased demand of new malting facilities in the developing markets (Russia, India, China & South East Asia) to cope with the steadily increasing malt demand driven by the burgeoning beer markets in these regions.

Supply chain management is the essential factor to minimise the risk to the beer business from the uncertain raw material supply situation that the industry now faces.

Global Malting Services provides optimisation of the supply chain giving direct control from seed to beer and full integration from field to brewery. The true potential of local barley production and malting plant can then be realised. Through this process barley and malt is quality assured from field to brewery. Our expertise adds value to achieve return on investment in shortest possible time. Ownership of the raw material supply creates measurable value and minimises risks to the beer business.
