On 01.01.2009 the WIMMI Verfahrenstechnik GmbH has been founded. Rudolf Körner and Torsten Schreiter have been appointed as Managing Directors. First and foremost the two graduate engineers want to distribute equipment for dealcoholisation by means of vacuum rectification for breweries and wineries. Along with this application the scope of supply comprises also machines for pasteurization and CIP-cleaning. Customized modifications of production lines and problem solving for optimizing production steps will continue to be a priority of their work.

Addressing the Annual meeting of the MAGB (Maltsters Association of Great Britain), Vice-Chairman Steven Rowley reflected on the turbulent business environment in which the malting barley supply chain is operating. Dramatic changes in interest rates, exchange rates, energy prices and cereal prices have combined to raise uncertainty and risk, to the great concern of maltsters and their partners in the supply chain.

It is now 16 years since the declaration of Council Directive 92/83/EEC, where the European Union declared its intention to ‘harmonize the structure for excise duties on alcoholic beverages and alcohol contained in other products to ensure the establishment of the internal market’. A new report from Canadean ‘Beer Pricing in Europe - a taxing Question’ provides an in-depth study of the tax weight on beer, by individual markets and compared to other member states. The report exposes just how little progress has been made during this time and highlights the wide variance in tax burdens across the European Union.
