Interflour to launch malting plant in VN
Interflour, one of the largest flour millers in Asia, has started to build its first malting plant in Viet Nam to meet the demands of domestic beer companies, assistant of the project Nguyen Hoang Ngan told Viet Nam News on June 29.
Ngan said the plant was expected to open in March 2017 with capacity reaching about 184,000 tonnes, and replacing 40 per cent of malt currently imported each year by Viet Nam.
Interflour, which is owned by Australia's biggest wheat exporter and co-operative CBH Group and Indonesian company Salim Group, has nine processing facilities in five countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Viet Nam and Turkey, processing approximately 1.5 million tonnes of flour per year.
The company has two flour plants in Viet Nam, of which, the plant in Da Nang has a capacity of 70,000 tonnes of flour per year and the factory in Cai Mep Industrial Zone amounts to 250,000 tonnes per year which is in the southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
