Puratos and Estonian Malt Joins Forces

Puratos and Estonian Malt have joined forces to launch Puratos Malt, which will produce and distribute malt flours and sprouted grains to the bakery, food service, and food manufacturing industries.

The joint venture follows six years of close collaboration between Puratos and Estonian Malt and aims to combine Puratos’ business insights and distribution network, with Estonian Malt’s expertise in sprouted and fermented wholegrains. Building on this successful partnership, the joint venture will allow both companies to shape the future of sprouted grains together. It will optimize production processes, work on improving packaging and shelf-life and develop new product ranges.

Julia Darvill, General Manager, Puratos UK, comments: “Puratos is committed to delivering healthier solutions across all product categories and this new venture with Estonian Malt is very much part of that strategy. We know from our recent Taste Tomorrow survey that consumers believe healthy eating is just as much about eliminating unhealthy ingredients as it is about adding wholesome ones. This joint venture is focused on delivering products with the highest possible nutritional value, as well as great taste.”
