UK: Bairds Malt announces Inverness plant expansion
Further expansion plans worth up to tens of millions of pounds and creating new jobs have been announced at a state-of-the-art malting plant in Inverness, the Inverness Courier reported on February 29.
Bairds Malt, which primarily supplies the Scottish distilling sector, increased production capacity at its plant in Longman Road a year ago following two years of construction work.
It now expects to add further capacity by early 2027 following the completion of a second phase of development which will also harness renewable heat and power.
It follows the acquisition of Bairds’ parent company, United Malt Group, by Malteries Soufflet in November.
Malteries Soufflet managing director, Guillaume Couture said: "We are delighted to announce this expansion of one of our UK malting facilities so quickly after the acquisition of United Malt Group and Bairds Malt.
"This project is our first in our growth plan for the combined global malting business and will be the flagship facility for our combined UK business going forward."
