Malting BarleyMalting barley history
The latter part of the 20th century saw the company grow its reputation for buying and supplying quality malting barley and was trading around 13,000t per annum by 1997. 1998 saw the company start to export malting barley in volume, working alongside its shareholder A.C Toepfer - the worlds leading malting barley trader. In 2000 Gleadell bought RME grain from Muntons Malt. This purchase came with a long-term supply agreement. Muntons saw a need for an UK trading partner who they could trust to work together with the aim of showing long term trading benefits to both companies. Today the company is buying over 150,000t annually and is one of the leading players in UK malting barley. Domestic marketing- local partnerships
