Muntons and Best Way Foods Ukraine Forge New Distribution Partnership

Muntons is pleased to announce a new partnership with Best Way Foods, a leading supplier of professional ingredients for the food industry and distributor and importer of global brands in Ukraine.

This partnership strengthens our presence in Eastern Europe and opens new doors for collaboration in both our Malted and Malted Ingredients divisions.

Under our malt business, we’ll be fostering collaboration between our British customers and Best Way Foods’ Ukrainian network to share recipes and brewing knowledge between UK and Ukrainian brewers.

As part of the partnership, we’re proud to have been part of a joint project between UK-based Farm Yard Brewery and Fanatic Brewery, Ukraine’s leading craft beer producer.

Together they created a Red IPA called “We’ll Still be Dancing”, brewed using 100% Muntons malt. The beer was created to show the quality and variety of our malts, while the name pays tribute to cultural resilience and unity in the face of adversity.

The relationship with Best Way Foods Ukraine also presents some exciting opportunities for our Malted Ingredients business.

Best Way Foods have already showcased our MI solutions to their top customers at the XIV Forum of Brewers, Distillers and Beverage in Kyiv, and during a seminar on “New Solutions for Your Products” which included demonstrations and tastings of various pastries and confectionary applications.

Muntons’ European Sales Manager, Arthur van der Meijden, said: “This partnership with Best Way Foods Ukraine is a powerful example of how malt can bring people together. Through shared recipes, joint beer production, and ingredient innovation, we’re building bridges between food and beverage companies in the UK and Ukraine. We’ve really enjoyed working with Best Way Foods Europe so far and we’re looking forward to seeing where this partnership will lead.”
