United Malt Holdings acquired by Graincorp United Malt Holdings has announced the acquisition of UMH by GrainCorp, the second largest agribusiness listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. “This sale is good for our employees, and good for our customers,” says Jim Anderson, CEO of UMH.

Due to a major re-engineering as well as increased worldwide demand for malt, GWM has seen their competitive profile greatly enhanced in last three years. Great Western Malting was formed in 1934 by NW brewers to ensure they had local and high quality supply of malt. Over time, ownership has changed but the employees of both Great Western Malting and the Country Malt Group continue to share the common focus and passion, ensuring its customers high quality products that meet the brewer’s needs.
