Group Overview 2023

Business development

Malteries Soufflet operates 29 malting plants in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, with an annual malt production capacity of 2.4 Mt, equivalent to 11% of the global market. Expanding into different markets enables us to meet the requirements and growing demand of major brewers, craft brewers, distillers and ingredient producers, whether they are looking for excellent, standard, special, Pilsen, roasted or organic malts.

Consequences of the war in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has had a direct impact on Malteries Soufflet's activities, which temporarily halted in March 2022. In this particular context, the group has adopted a number of measures aimed above all at protecting the safety of the 75 employees present on site; hence, they are monitored and supported on a daily basis. Its site at Slavuta, in the west of Ukraine, has been reopened to meet demand from local brewers, while production at the malting plant has gradually resumed.

CSR commitments

As part of a continuous improvement approach, Malteries Soufflet has also been supporting the sector's agro-ecological transition for several years, by reducing the carbon footprint of its industrial processes, preserving water resources and developing sustainable, local barley/ malt supply chains. In addition to prioritising the supply of 80% of its production sites with sustainable barley, Malteries Soufflet aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and water consumption by 30% by 2030, as well as recovering all waste as part of its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
