Cargill Malt Opens Seattle Warehouse

SEATTLE — Jun 18/04 - SNS -- Cargill Malt/Specialty Products Group opened a warehouse in central Seattle to help meet the pale and specialty-malt needs of regional brewers, micro-breweries and brewpubs in the Pacific Northwest.

"We have chosen a United Warehousing location for our site, given its superior facilities and extensive trucking fleet," said Ron Ryan, account executive for Cargill Malt/ Specialty Products Group. The Cargill Malt warehouse is adjacent to Safeco Field at 1750 Occidental Avenue South, providing easy freeway access to customers for all of their malt needs.

The warehouse not only offers Cargill's proprietary malts but also carries the full lines of Dingemans, Pauls and Meussdoerffer malts, as well as a selection of Weyermann, Crisp and Gambrinus malts, in 50- or 55-pound bags. In addition, regional customers now have direct access to a full line of flaked and torrified malt products.

"This convenient location enables us to provide next-day delivery of our products to customers in the greater Seattle and Portland areas," said Ryan. "Having a presence in this region also translates into significant savings for our Pacific Northwest customers through dramatic decreases in transportation costs."
