Soufflet Malt Romania has a barley processing plant in Buzau. The French group arrived in the country with its malt division two decades ago. Ten years later it established Soufflet Agro Romania, a grain and seeds wholesaler. Soufflet Agro Romania posted more than RON362 million revenue and RON1.1 million net profit in 2019.
Soufflet Agro Romania has three silos of its own in Braila (Braila), Tandarei (Ialomita) and Biled (Timis), the corporate website says, with a capacity of 25,000 tons, 23,000 tons and 22,000 tons.
The three facilities keep the malt plant in Buzau supplied. The plant has an annual production capacity of 110,000 tons and requires 155,000 tons of barley a year, according to the same source.
