Muntons Malted Ingredients Opens U.S. Office to Meet Demand; Brings World Class Microbrewery Expertise

The opening of Muntons US office marks the second stage of their overseas expansion, complementing the opening last year of their office in Singapore.

10/12/08 Muntons PLC, maltsters and malted ingredients manufacturers based in Stowmarket Suffolk, United Kingdom, have announced the opening of their first office in the United States. Muntons has enjoyed vigorous commerce in the United States, further expanding markets here necessitate a North American division. The brand is well-known in the baking, confectionary and brew markets around the world.

Terry McNeill of Muntons Malted Ingredients serves as the North American Sales Manager. He has been with the company for four years.

“In addition to the food and bakery industry, Terry will also be looking after the burgeoning homebrew and microbrewery markets,” says Andrew Suett, Sales and Marketing Director. “Microbrewing has shown consistent growth in the United States over the last few years, with discerning consumers embracing these unique, regionally-brewed beers in preference to the more usual light lagers prevalent across the country. Muntons is proud to have been supplying this market since its inception over twenty years ago. Homebrewing too is seeing strong growth as consumers experience the pleasure of creating their own perfect pint in the comfort of their own home.”

The opening of Muntons US office marks the second stage of their overseas expansion, complementing the opening last year of their office in Singapore.

Muntons exported nearly 47,000 tonnes (51,810 tons U.S.), or nearly 2,000 truckloads of malt and malted ingredients worth over $30 million in the last year, made exclusively from raw materials sourced from the UK.
