Franco-Belgian Malts optimizes its production of specialty malts

Malteries Franco-Belges, a subsidiary of the Soufflet Malt Group, announces its intention to increase its production and distribution capacity for specialty malts. This strategic shift will be accompanied by the transfer of Malterie du Château's operations, based in Belgium, to Pithiviers, France, scheduled for January 2027.

This repositioning aims to better meet the demands of the rapidly expanding craft beer market in Europe. The development will be based on the creation of the Country Malt Group brand, which promises a distribution model tailored to the needs of European craft brewers and distillers.

By leveraging the expertise of Malterie du Château, Malteries Franco-Belges hopes to strengthen its market position while optimizing its production. The subsidiary is thus committed to a dynamic of growth and closer customer relationships.
