Significant events
- “on the 15th of July 2024, the Company name was changed to Soufflet Bairds Malt Limited from Soufflet Malt UK Limited.”
- “With effect from 1 July 2024, the United Kingdom operations of Soufflet Malt S.A.S were reorganised... The Company then purchased the entire share capital of United Malt UK Limited from United Malt Group Limited for £113,800,000; ... The Company purchased the trade, assets and certain liabilities of the malting operations from SBM Scotgrain Limited (previously called Bairds Malt Limited) for £92,869,000.”
- “As a result of this significant reduction in demand the Company made an announcement in late November 2025 that it will be rationalising its production footprint and closing the Pencaitland production facility.”
- “In November 2025 the Company announced ceasing production and the closure of the Pencaitland plant. The plant closure is forecast to be complete by the end of April 2026. This will result in an estimated impairment of tangible fixed assets of approximately £4.4m and closure costs over the financial years 2026 and 2027 of approximately £3.4m.”
