What Innomalt inc does

Innomalt Inc. is a Quebec-based malting house that produces 100% Quebec malt from locally cultivated brewing barley and wheat for sale to microbreweries and distilleries. Founded in 2014 by Raphaël Sansregret (President) and Pascal Viens (Vice-President), the company operates a manufacturing facility in Bécancour and is owned by agricultural cooperatives (Novago, Vivaco, Préval) with Desjardins as a financial partner — a structure that secures a year-round supply of Quebec-grown raw materials. It is the only malt house in Quebec to produce "Floor malt," and it differentiates on a continuous laboratory analysis protocol applied to every malted batch, covering grain analysis (size, humidity), wort analysis (colour, extract, turbidity, β-glucan, FAN, pH, F/C difference) and biochemical analysis (diastatic power, α-amylases), combined with field-to-bag traceability.

The company sells a portfolio of 12 specialty malt products — including Pilsner Moderne, Pilsner Traditionnel, Blé Rouge Malté, Vienna, M3, Malt Pâle (2 Rangs), Pale Ale Anglais, M2, and Mild Ale — alongside four supporting services: toll malting (Malting à Forfait), custom product development, distribution, and technical consulting (recipe creation, malt replacement, optimization, troubleshooting), with a German Braumeister available to brewers. Revenue mechanics are straightforward B2B unit sales: direct ordering for orders above 25 kg, sub-25 kg orders routed through distributor Moût International, which also provides milling services and extends coverage into Ontario. The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by content marketing (blog), organic social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn), and an email newsletter. Geographic footprint today is Quebec and Ontario, served via a small team of 1–10 employees.
