United Breweries (UBL) has partnered with Soufflet Malt to build a state-of-the-art malthouse in South Rajasthan, India. The new facility will provide high-quality malt for brewing of iconic beers such as Kingfisher and Heineken, reflecting both companies’ commitment to delivering exceptional beer to consumers in India while supporting sustainable agriculture, job creation and regional economic growth.
