Muntons Transforms Maintenance Management and Achieves Site-Wide Visibility with Agility CMMS Background Established in 1921, Muntons Plc is one of the UK’s leading producers of malted products, producing 240,000 tonnes of malt and malted ingredients annually across four production sites: two maltings in Suffolk and Yorkshire, a peating plant in Yorkshire, and a specialist vacuum band-drying facility in Thailand. Munton’s Head Office situated in Stowmarket, Suffolk spans 45 acres and incorporates a maltings, a malted ingredients production area, and an effluent plant.
