Our goals
Quality, Continuity, Partnership
The quality of our malts and our services forms the basis of success for our customers. The success of our customers, in turn, is the basis for our success. With this conviction and reliable dealings based on this idea, BESTMALZ AG and its subsidiaries, Palatia Malz, Malzfabrik Hoepfner and Maelzerei Wallertheim, have gained an excellent reputation for quality in the brewing industry in recent years and decades and are today known around the world.
We strive to produce homogeneous malts of the highest quality and base our services on the expectations of our customers.
Our customers expect continuity in our dealings and our products. That is why our company policies aim for dependability over the long term. The decision to purchase your most important raw material, malt, from BESTMALZ, means we take full responsibility for this raw material for our customers. We face this challenge every day.
Long-lasting customer relationships only come about when all the rules of partnership are recognized and put into practice. Fairness and honesty are the basis for good partnership. This applies to market information, pricing and terms policy as well as technical and technological support. Difficulties cannot always be avoided; in such situations we believe our task is to advise and support our customers with the optimal solution.
Quality, continuity, partnership - this, of course, applies in the same way and same degree to our suppliers and our employees. After all, they are the ones that enable us to meet our goals and those of our customers. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link – with this conviction we maintain and promote the relationships with our suppliers. Ongoing qualification and training enables our employees to contribute to the success of the company and therefore ensure the security of their jobs.
"More than just the best malt" is the motto that all of our company’s employees put into practice daily. Guaranteed!
