How BESTMALZ AG was founded
BESTMALZ
In 2001 the two companies - Palatia Malz GmbH and Malzfabrik Hoepfner GmbH & Co. KG
- decided to market their quality malt together in order to better meet
the increasing demands of their customers. BESTMALZ AG was founded. The
founding companies remain independent.
PALATIA MALZ
A region full of tradition in the heart of
Europe – the Palatinate – lent its name to Palatia malt. The company
was founded in 1899 as a flour mill and was soon transformed into a
malt house. The formula for success of the family-managed enterprise,
now in its third generation, has remained the same up to this day:
wholehearted malting tradition and production that always uses the most
modern methods to guarantee the outstanding brewing quality of Palatia
malt.
MALZFABRIK HOEPFNER
Over 200 years of company history
sets the tone for one of the most successful and oldest company in the
region of Baden. In 1798 Pastor Friedrich Hoepfner purchased a parcel
of land in Liedolsheim near Karlsruhe to begin operating a small
brewery and malt house.
Today,
under family management in the sixth generation, the successful
continuation of this old malting tradition is documented by modern,
computer-controlled plants for malt production.
