During 2015 OCRIM celebrated its 70th anniversary by organising

several important events which have involved the company team,

customers and Cremona citizens.

OCRIM’s annual event “GRANO, FARINA E…” (“WHEAT,

FLOUR AND…), was celebrated at IPACK-IMA 2015 and also

involved the famous Chef, Davide Oldani who prepared a special

course, made of grain, dedicated to OCRIM.

All customers were introduced to the new OCRIM line “Superior

Time” and other devices presented, like the onlineMGA and the @mobile (tablet application), which have been designed to improve

and optimise the milling plants automation. These technological and

engineering developments showcase the big “steps” in research and

development made during these last few years.

OCRIM is considered one of the most important companies in

the milling industry. It was founded in 1945 and in a short time the

company became widely known all over the world and gained the

right trust and consideration.

OCRIM specialises in milling plants, feed mills and general cereals

processing, including - and especially - turnkey formula systems. The

company invests heavily in research, training, customer services and

communication.

OCRIM has two sites in the city of Cremona: the original

headquarters in Via Massarotti and the premises at the canal port area.

From the outset, OCRIM has specialised in turnkey projects, and this

is why its customers regard the company as a reliable and experienced

partner. The company therefore offers oversight of the entire process.

OCRIM’s aim is to supply its customers with long-lasting machinery

and high quality, efcient services. Innovative solutions have been

introduced in order to reduce energy use and minimise operation and

maintenance costs. Automation is a crucial factor for a plant since it

has the aim to guarantee maximum performance in terms of yield.

OCRIM invests very much in technological research in order to let

the automation dept. study and design the best solutions for each

customer.In recent years, OCRIM has succeeded in giving tangible form to the

Italian Made project: the production process takes place exclusively

within the company, which believes wholeheartedly in Italian Made

quality. The partnership between the futuristic approach of the

engineers and the expertise of the workers provides the winning key

for creating excellent, high quality products to meet the demands of

the milling sector market.

OCRIM also believes in research and development since it is a

crucial factor in becoming a benchmark in terms of quality and

expertise in the milling sector. In fact, OCRIM has always created

innovative systems to improve and simplify the work of design,

production, assembly and testing.

OCRIM’s commitment to training dates back to 1965, when the

rst International School of Milling Technology was founded. Today

the School is considered one of the company’s agships. Theoretical

courses are accompanied by practical experience, thanks to a pilot mill

with capacity of 24 T/D and a well-equipped laboratory.

OCRIM uses numerous methods of communication to broadcast itsphilosophy. Indeed, the company benets from considerable visibility,

both through national and international publications of the sector and

via its three websites.

Global Industries: It’s About

Relationships

Global Industries, Inc. was founded in

1996, but its roots extend back to 1954

when company founder, Virgil Eihusen,

started his rst construction business.

That company would grow and evolve into

Global Industries, thanks in large part to

an unwavering focus on Eihusen’s mission to create a single company

that could meet all the grain storage, handling and conditioning needs

of farmers and commercial interests around the world.

Global and its family of companies know their continued success

is driven by this singular mission and never losing sight of the core

values on which the company was founded:

Quality. Innovation.

Global seeks out the best craftsman and skilled employees, and

then provides them with the highest quality materials, manufacturing

techniques and processes available to create products with

unsurpassed quality, toughness and durability. They invest heavily in

state-of-the-art equipment and technologies to insure the accuracy andrepeatability of every product and component they produce, and have

even created a dedicated Research and Development Center solely for

the purpose of testing and verifying the capabilities and benets of the

products they deliver daily to their customers.

Strong Work Ethic and Family Values

With over one million square feet, under roof, it’s still Global’s 600

plus employees that are the true strength of the company. They take

great pride in the work they do. Even with advances in equipment

and technology it’s still the passion and expertise of these people that

help Global continue to deliver the best products and service in the

industry.

Customer Relationships

People want to do business with people they know and trust will be

there when needed. Since the beginning, Global has strived to build

long-lasting relationships based on honesty, clear communication,

respect and trust. Customers know Global will answer when called

upon and have long understood that Global stands behind everything

they sell, and that customer safety, productivity and satisfaction

remain Global Industries’ highest priorities.

As Global Industries plots its course into the future, they vow to stay

true to the vision of providing complete grain storage, handling and

conditioning systems to farm, co-op and commercial customers. Their

position as a privately held, family-owned company gives them the

ability to respond quickly to customer needs and identify and react to

capabilities include the ability to design, manufacture and install

complete ourmills.
