Viking Malt

🌾 Welcome back to Viking Malt's Walkabouts in 2025! In this series, we bring you insights straight from our fields and farmers. 🚜 You’ll get a unique look at how we collaborate with our partners and share best practices in sustainable agriculture. 🌱 We’re kicking off 2025 in 🇵🇱 Poland, one of our home markets, with a visit to Piotr Zarzycki, who took advantage of a weather window to begin sowing spring barley. His focus is on maximizing the benefits of regenerative agriculture. 🌾♻️ 🌱The field we visited was prepared for sowing back in early autumn. The crop residues were left over the winter as mulch, enriching the soil with essential nutrients and organic matter 🌿 Healthy soil starts with proper crop residue management! Just before sowing, light tillage was applied to ensure optimal growing conditions, which is especially important in this region.🌾🚜 🎥 Don’t miss the latest episode of Viking Malt’s Walkabout 👇 #Walkabouts #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #MoreThroughMalt #VikingMalt

We launched a series of workshop meetings with malting barley producers in Poland🌾. Participants are members of the Farm Management Group created by Viking Malt Poland. Its goal is to promote and develop a sustainable farm management system within the malting barley supply chain in Poland. 🌍 The project is being implemented in collaboration with our partners from Yara Poland and SAATEN-UNION. 👉 Yesterday, the first training session in the series took place. It was divided into three parts: 🌱 Principles of Regenerative Agriculture The first presentation, delivered by our representative, covered the principles of regenerative agriculture in the context of malting barley cultivation. We introduced techniques and practices aimed at improving soil health 🏞️, increasing biodiversity 🐝, and maintaining ecosystem balance. 🌾 Effective and practical fertilization of malting barley Yara Poland presented a session on effective and practical fertilization of malting barley. Various strategies and fertilizer products were discussed, which can enhance yields 📈 and barley quality while ensuring sustainable soil resource management. 🌿 Cover Crops as a natural way to improve soil fertility The final presentation, by Saaten-Union, addressed the use of cover crops as a natural method to improve soil fertility. The speaker focused mainly on the benefits of using cover crops, such as improving soil structure 🌾, increasing organic matter content, and preventing erosion 🌍. The meeting concluded with an engaging Q&A session, during which participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences and gain additional insights on topics of interest. The training was highly rated as valuable and inspiring ✨, which will undoubtedly contribute to the further development of sustainable agriculture among malting barley producers working with Viking Malt Poland. 🙏 We appreciate your great engagement and interest! We are pleased that the topics we discuss are important and generate significant interest. 🚜💚 #FarmManagementGroup #MoreThroughMalt #VikingMalt

We are very pleased to announce that we signed a EUR 130 million committed and EUR 45 million uncommitted facilities agreement on 5 February 2025. With this agreement we have secured 3 years long term financing plus two extension options of one year each for Viking Malt Group.  This set up will stabilize and increase the company’s liquidity reserves compared to past 2-3 year period. The facility is provided by a syndicate of three banks; Danske Bank A/S, OP Corporate Bank plc and Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. OP Corporate Bank acted as Coordinator and Agent in the transaction. Viking Malt will continue to work with both Danske Bank A/S and OP Corporate Bank plc. We are also very happy to onboard the 3rd partner, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A , to this journey. Rabobank is a large international cooperative Food and Agri bank headquartered in the Netherlands and is fully owned by Dutch farmers. 🏦 Hannes & Snellman acted as our legal advisor and the work was performed professionally and efficiently by Mr. Markus Bremer and his team. Internally we have been supported by the Viking Malt’s Group Management Team and The Board, but special thanks go to Kati Helin and Teemu Pohjola, who worked with full dedication, professionalism and flexibility on this project. 🤝  #MoreThroughMalt #VikingMalt

Today, together with FAO of the United Nations, we celebrate World Pulses Day! 🎉🌱 Pulses play a key role in a healthy, plant-based diet as well as in sustainable agriculture, s where they support crop rotation. 🚜🔄   At Viking Malt we see pulses as an important means for product diversification in malting, brewing and food industries. That is why we developed Sprau®, the malted faba bean. 🌱 Through a specially designed process, we convert raw faba bean into a very interesting set of ingredients, that can be used in both brewing and food production. In brewing, Sprau® delivers: ✔️ healthy fermentation ✔️ boosts bitterness intensity ✔️ foam and body In food, Sprau® delivers: ✔️ reduced FODMAPS ✔️ improved flavor and flavor stability ✔️ Sprau® process maintains good techno-functionality of plant proteins   Unleash the power of pulses with us, let’s celebrate World Pulses Day together! 🌾🌱🥳 #WorldPulsesDay #LovePulses #Sprau #MoreThroughMalt #VikingMalt

Thank you, SEGES Innovation, for inviting us to join this project! We need to back up our regenerative farming initiatives with experimental data, and this project will provide exactly that. At Viking Malt, we’re excited to contribute our insights from a maltster’s perspective!

We’re excited to be part of the Central European Craft Brewers Conference (CEBC) in Budapest 🇭🇺 – the key event for the craft beer industry in the region! 🍻 At Viking Malt, we believe that great beer starts with exceptional malt🌾.
