Name of the Project
Sedibeng malting facility.
Location
Heinekens’s Sedibeng Brewery near Johannesburg, in Gauteng, South Africa. Its location adjacent to the brewery will allow for malt to be transferred by conveyors, reducing emissions and costs.
Project Owner/s
French agro-industrial company Malteries Soufflet and drinks producer Heineken Beverages.
Project Description
Heineken entered a commercial partnership with Soufflet Malt in March 2025 to supply malt used in Heineken’s South African operations.
The facility, with a 100 000 t capacity, will be the most technologically advanced malthouse in South Africa and will produce 50% fewer emissions than the industry average using trigeneration and solar energy.
Potential Job Creation
The facility will create 55 full-time jobs and support more than 200 local South African barley growers, with Soufflet sourcing 100% of the barley locally.
Capital Expenditure
Soufflet will invest €100-million to build the new malting facility.
Planned Start/End Date
The facility is targeted for operation by mid-2027.
