About us

ABOUT US

Slavonija Slad d.o.o. is our malt house in Croatia, re-established by Boortmalt and located in Nova Gradiska since 1997. We also have a Badass brother malthouse in Dunaújváros, on the riverside of Danube. Boortmalt Magyarország Kft. is the only malt house in Hungary established in 2006. From first day it’s been enriched with a century-old Belgian craft experience.

DRIVEN BY CHARACTER

LEAVING OUR MARK ON THE WORLD

Times are changing, but our character remains strong. True character doesn’t rest on the laurels of good times, it doesn't dissapear during bad times. Difficulties don't build character, they just reveal our strength. Living off our land for generations, battling against the seasons, systems and through difficult times, Slavonians developed this unique mentality: hospitable and generous. But also tough and resilient. That's how we roll - stepping outside of our comfort zone - Badass style. This is why our barley is so Badass that it if were a motorbike, it would be named Barley Davidson.

Enriched by the centuries old Belgian craft tradition, we bring expertise and quality to Croatia's malting industry. Our plant has been upgraded to meet state-of-the-art European standards. If you've ever tried Belgian craft beer, you'll recognize our commitment to excellence.

Our prestigious market position and strong reputation in the global brewing community stem from rigorous quality management, meticulous care for product health, detailed traceability and a commitment to reduce environmental impact and act responsibly. These principles, along with ambitious growth plans for local and export markets, have made us a regional leader in the malting industry.

Our Badass Team lives and breathes their projects—like the rock gods, The Kinks, they’re dedicated 'All Day and All of the Night!' They wake up thinking about malt, take it to bed at night, and dream of bringing Badass Malt to every craft brewer in Croatia. Operating on their own clock (25 hours / 8 days a week), they believe in genuine innovation, not imitation; for a Badass, 'copy-paste' is a crime.

Every team member is talented, creative, and bursting with new ideas. Together, they’re more than a team—they’re a powerhouse of passion, creating new standards and values in craft malt. They are true Masters of Craft Malt and devoted Lovers of Craft Beer!
