United Malt Holdings is currently owned by GrainCorp, an Australian-based agricultural company. GrainCorp is a leading international grain and oilseed business that operates in Australia, North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
GrainCorp’s acquisition of United Malt Holdings was a strategic move to expand its presence in the global malt industry. United Malt Holdings is a leading global malt producer with operations in Australia, North America, and the United Kingdom.
The acquisition of United Malt Holdings further solidifies GrainCorp’s position as a major player in the malt industry. With this purchase, GrainCorp gains access to United Malt’s extensive malt production capabilities, customer base, and distribution networks.
It is worth noting that this is not the first acquisition made by GrainCorp in the malt industry. In 2018, GrainCorp acquired Great Western Malting, a malt manufacturer based in the United States. This acquisition allowed GrainCorp to expand its reach in the North American malt market.
In addition to its acquisitions, GrainCorp also operates its own malt manufacturing facilities. One notable acquisition in this regard is the purchase of Schill Malt, a malt manufacturer based in Germany. This acquisition further strengthens GrainCorp’s global malt production capabilities and enhances its ability to serve customers in Europe.
Furthermore, GrainCorp has also established Brewers Select in the United Kingdom, which is a subsidiary focused on distributing directly to craft customers. This move allows GrainCorp to directly engage with the growing craft beer industry and cater to their specific needs.
GrainCorp’s ownership of United Malt Holdings positions them as a major player in the global malt industry. With their acquisitions and establishment of subsidiaries, GrainCorp has significantly expanded its malt production capabilities and distribution networks, allowing them to cater to a wide range of customers worldwide.
