We grow your malts™
France’s Champagne region underwent remarkable agricultural development beginning in the 1950s. Very quickly, and thanks to the vision of a few pioneers, some agricultural cooperatives decided to appropriate the added value from processing certain productions, and invested in particular in the brewing industry.
An initial malting plant was opened in Reims in 1961. A second plant was built in 1975 at Pringy (Marne). Then other malting plants were acquired – in Vitry-le-François (Marne) in 1977 and in Metz (Moselle) and Aire sur la Lys (Pas de Calais) in the 1980s. These were the beginnings of what was to become, in 1984, the Malteurop Group, a group which since its very origins has been built on privileged ties between agriculture and industry.
Located in the heart of the European Union’s prime malting barley production basin, the Group’s four French plants have a total production capacity of 410,000 metric tons and are committed to ensuring the security of supplies to French and German breweries as well as supplying the major export markets.
Malteurop France produces basic malts — Pilsen and Munich — from two- and six-row barley, as well as wheat malt.
All the Malteurop France malting plants are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and ISO 22000 (Food Safety) certified.

The Group Leadership Team brings together the members of the Executive Committee and the directors of the local units.
The Group’s rapid and profitable growth and its continuous efforts to improve performance in all areas are our two vectors of value creation.
The Malteurop Group operates 27 industrial sites in 13 countries.
The story begins in the 1960s in France with the first malting plant, opened in Reims by an agricultural cooperative. It continues with the acquisition and creation of several malting plants, then the birth of Malteurop as a company in 1984…
Malteurop is first and foremost an industrial group engaged in the primary processing of barley into malt.
At its base our profession consists in ensuring the availability of malts in the right place, at the right time, at the right price, in the desired quality and quantities, at the point of secondary processing by our brewer customers.
Working together with grain growers is a natural approach for Malteurop. Firstly because growers are at the very origin of Malteurop and because they are part of the Group’s shareholding structure via their cooperatives.
