In September 2006, CHAMP Private Equity and Castle Harlan acquired Great Western Malting, Canada Malting Company, Barrett Burston Malting and Bairds Malt to create United Malt Holdings ("UMH"), one of the world's largest producers of malt for use in the brewing and distilling industries. “The partnership we had with CHAMP and specifically myself and the management team and the rest of the organisation was an excellent working relationship. It was objectives based, in other words we didn’t sit around and talk about things that could be or couldn’t be, we tried to understand how we could mould the strategy into something that would create real tangible earnings for the organization and for the investors” Jim Anderson CHAMP exited UMH in November 2009 via a trade sale to Grain Corp. |
