04 Nov 2019 --- Belgium-headquartered Boortmalt Group – a subsidiary of France’s largest grain cooperative Axereal – is completing the acquisition of Cargill’s malt business. Under the agreement, Boortmalt will be taking over Cargill’s 16 global malt houses and will bring the total capacity of the Boortmalt to three million tons with 27 malting plants across five continents. The move, which was first announced last December, marks a significant boost in Boortmalt’s global reach, production volume and sustainability efforts.
