Great Western Malting to be Honored by the Port of Vancouver

Vancouver, WA, 2/3/08. Great Western Malting will be receiving the Port of Vancouver’s Best Facilities Improvement award for 2008 On Thursday, February 5th at the 2009 Port Re:PORT Breakfast at the Red Lion Hotel at the Quay. “In 2008 we endeavored to match our production ability with the needs of our local flourishing craft brewer customers as well as our growing international market,“ said Jay Hamachek, Director of North America Business Development. “Receiving this award is truly a reflection to the commitment that we have to our customers at home and abroad,” said Hamacheck.

In 2008 Great Western expanded service to international markets. By working closely with former Port Commissioner Arch Miller and Port Staff, Great Western began shipping product to brewers in Central America, South America, and South Africa. “Our customers demand for excellent malt will always be our top priority. “ said Hamachek. Great Western’s equipment is well suited to the precise requirements of the brewers who buy the malt. “It’s simple, when a company meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of its customers, everyone wins. It’s just good business.”
