Malted Excellence, Sustainably Crafted

For over six generations, Dingemans has produced high-quality malts while reducing environmental impact through responsible sourcing, energy efficiency and continuous process innovation.

Message from our CEO

This year marked a meaningful evolution for Dingemans: we marked our 150-year milestone as a family-owned maltster, and strengthened our commitment to global food-safety and sustainability standards. The successful certification under FSSC 22000 confirms the robustness of our quality and safety processes across the malting chain.

Meanwhile, our organic malt ranges continued to expand, and we introduced new malts, such as our Oat Malt MD, to serve evolving brewer demands.

As we look forward, we remain dedicated to combining more than a century of Belgian malt tradition with modern practices that respect people, resources and the communities we work with.
