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.
