Storage equipment guide

The International Milling Directory was successfully distributed to all key players at IDMA. 10 boxes were shipped over in advance of our participation at this key Turkish event. We also were able to distribute directly to flour millers after the event as we visited Çorum, Aksaray, Konya and Ankara. We passed many silo plants – new and old installations in a number of places. Many were manufactured by advertising partners of the International Milling Directory and were found in both towns and the rural country.

One such photo here shows GSI silos at  BOLU UN VE YEM SANAYİİ (translation: Bolu flour and feed industry). This is a key example of the way that storage is valued in Turkey, which is well known now as an important local and international milling industry, which, importantly is growing well.

Please contact the team at the International Milling Directory for more information about getting your silo and storage products into the new International Milling Directory today.

The International Milling Directory (IMD) has set up camp in Istanbul, Turkey for the 5th International Flour, Semolina, Rice, Corn, Bulghur, Feed Milling Machinery & Pulse, Pasta, Biscuit Technologies Exhibition (or IDMA 2013 for short).

Representatives from all over the milling industry have gathered with thousands of agriculture professionals to make this one of the highlights of 2013′s milling calendar. The IMD, together with sister publication Grain & Feed Milling Technology magazine, will be presenting its wares to industry representatives from 120 countries for the full four days of the show.

If you’re at IDMA, or soon will be, Directory co-ordinator Tom Blacker will be ready to provide information and answer your questions. Why not visit him at the Perendale booth (hall 11, stand A-19)?

Enewsletter column: March 2013

The International Milling Directory (IMD) has had a rather a lot of attention recently. We made waves in Louisville with a successful event. Regular and new members were drawn towards our hundreds of copies of the IMD – the 6 boxes we shipped over were snapped up within 2 days, leaving latecomers on the final day with not a lot of availability!

VIV Asia took place in Bangkok in early March. A great honour of the opening reception was a mention for International Milling Directories’ owner and publisher Perendale and Roger Gilbert was a boon for us all back in the office. When we found out the feedback and invitation to chair more CropTech-FeedTech conferences at more VIV events around the world was relayed back, we were all proud of this opportunity in thought leadership. The next event in this series Roger is attending will be in the Netherlands.

The next event draws closer all the time and our build up, tools and ambitions for IDMA in Turkey are very high. This is a bi-annual event in Istanbul will take place over four days and we decided to ship 10 boxes of the IMD to this exciting event. Our large presence will be part of marketing the IMD to returning and new Turkish members and they will be able to see and ask for information about participation in the new edition. On that topic, we are expecting to redesign and improve the functionality of the IMD this year which makes it the leading publication in handbooks for the international milling community.

New companies in the IMD this month: Kay International (India), Aciklar Un Sanayi (Turkey), Jiangsu Myande Food Machinery Co. Ltd. (China) and Dan Corn (Denmark).

I hope that renewal or registration of your company is something you are thinking about. It can be done very quickly and simply at www.internationalmilling.com.

Vietnam’s Greenfeed is Asia’s no.1

Greenfeed of Vietnam are one of East Asia's up-and-coming feed producers for the livestock industry

Greenfeed of Vietnam is one of East Asia’s up-and-coming feed producers

Animal and aqua feed company Greenfeed of Vietnam was made Asian Feedmiller of the Year at VIV Asia in Bangkok last week. The competition, in its fourth year, is run by the food chemistry multinational Addcon.

As winners Greenfield will receive sponsorship for a trip to VICTAM Ukraine, in Kiev later this year. VICTAM is one of the leading events for the global livestock industry, so this award should allow Greenfeed to propel themselves to bigger and better things.

Addcon CEO and founder Berndt Kochannek congratulated Greenfeed: “We have been proud sponsor of the award ever since it has been initiated in 2009. We believe that [the] award not only helps the winner in getting the reputation they deserve for all their hard work, but it motivates also other feedmills in the region to further improve the quality of their feed.”

“Greenfeed has been awarded the prize for the innovation they have shown in the very competitive market in Vietnam (and Cambodia). The last years, which have been characterized by high raw material costs yet tough competition in the feedmill industry made it clear that only dedicated feedmills will be able to stay in the market. Greenfeed has done great in the past and we think that Greenfeed will do so in the future.”

Runner-up Feedmiller of the Year was the Dabaco Group, also from Vietnam. Anmol Feeds from Bihar, India won the new ‘Emerging Miller’ gong.

The International Milling Directory extends its congratulations to all three companies, and hopes to see them in the pages of the 22nd edition, published this summer.

Milluno – IMD’s latest member from Turkey

The International Milling Directory's reach is truly global

The International Milling Directory’s reach is truly global

The International Milling Directory (IMD) is very happy to welcome to its pages Milluno Milling Technologies & Equipment. Milluno is a part of Turkey’s substantial grain industry, which is growing in global importance all the time. The company exports its machinery expertise to 20 countries on three continents, and is proud that all its milling equipment is of Turkish origin.

Milluno is based in Konya, in central Anatolia, a city best known as the medieval home of the Islamic Mevlevi Order, or as they are popularly called in the West, the Whirling Dervishes. The order was founded by the followers of Rumi, the thirteenth-century Persian poet, jurist and mystic who early in his life settled in Konya to lead a Sufi religious school.

Everyone on the IMD team hopes Milluno can use us to reach customers for their business all over the world.
