Great Western Malting Co. is focused on consistently delivering malt to meet our customers’ quality requirements. To do this, we apply strict quality-control procedures in grain selection, malt production and malt shipping.
Within our exacting standards, Great Western Malting employs world-class quality and food-safety management systems. All Great Western Malting plants are HACCP-certified, thus ensuring a high standard of food-safety management.
Our focus on malt quality and functionality begins when we select barley at the time of harvest. Malting barley is selected based on its overall quality and ability to meet specific malt-quality requirements after processing.
Our barley selections are based on the malting characteristics of each individual variety. The selection process also takes into account the often subtle malt-quality differences that are characteristic of individual growing regions.
At Great Western Malting, our malt is processed and blended to each customer’s specific requirements to ensure that we maintain consistent quality with every shipment.
Our modern malt analytical laboratories are staffed with highly trained technicians and professional quality-assurance personnel. Our labs are equipped with leading edge analytical technologies to ensure the highest level of quality assurance.
State-of-the-art process tools, such as in-process, near-infrared spectroscopy, statistical process control, and world-class process-automation software systems, provide our talented maltsters with the tools they need to produce the highest-quality malts.
