SEKADO was founded in 1992 as a commercial company specialising in the export of brewing raw materials to the Eastern markets and related materials such as malt, hops, diatomaceous earth, etc. The SEKADO brand was and is prominently represented at the annual international trade fairs in Nuremberg, Munich and other cities in Europe and Asia.

At all exhibitions and presentations SEKADO has received high marks, diplomas and prizes for the excellent quality of exported premium Czech malt.

During the last 20 years the situation on the eastern market has changed fundamentally.

With globalisation and subsequent capitalisation, about 80 % of the brewing industry has been bought up by Interbrew, Heineken, SABMiler, etc. holdings.

SEKADO was forced to concentrate its attention on the group of independent beer producers, on the emerging and rapidly developing segment of medium, small and mini-brewers. At the same time, we managed to create a network of wholesalers in the regions for further retail sales of malt that had already been customised.

The geography of our supplies is wide: Moldova, Ukraine, Mexico, Turkey, Italy, USA.

During more than 30 years of presence on the malt market, SEKADO has gained a stable position as a reliable, experienced, professional and serious partner, and has become widely known among importers of high quality raw materials, and above all Czech malt, known as Bohemian Pilsner Malt.

With changes in the customer segment came changes in the forms of delivery.

The first place was occupied by large volumes of malt packed in branded 50kg bags, and not only classic Pilsen malt, but also special malts: caramel malt, Munich malt, roasted etc.

We deliver malts in wagons, track and 20 and 40 foot containers.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that Czech malt is unique.

It determines the character of unique Czech beer.

More and more brewers and brewery owners are beginning to recognise this and are choosing Czech malt for their elite beers.

Not everyone knows that the brand name ‘Czech beer’ is protected by a special law of the European Community as a ‘protected geographical name’.

It follows that anyone who wants to brew Czech beer MUST follow the prescribed rules of production technology and use approved raw materials, especially malt made from established Czech varieties of spring double row barley.

High-quality malt is the key to the brewer‘s success and the main prerequisite for truly high-quality and tasty Czech beer.
