About Us

Since starting out in 1883 in Lahti, Finland, we have been exploring all that malt can be. Today, we are the 8th biggest maltster in the world, the 4th in Europe, and the 1st in the Baltic Rim.

Going forward, we will continue our commitment to our partnering breweries, distilleries, farmers, and other trusted stakeholders. That way, all of us are guaranteed to discover more through malt.

Our Malt Houses

Our six malt houses in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania and Poland are close to the northernmost farming areas of the world. The pure grain cultivated by local farmers in nearby fields has only a short trip to reach us. This ensures exceptional freshness and quality for the malt we produce.
