    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

    future growth opportunities that best

    t their expertise and vision. www.globalindinc.com

    Since the foundation of the

    company in 1896, Satake

    has been working for

    mankind’s three staple foods

     – rice, wheat and maize. Today, Satake serves 150 countries through

    14 manufacturing and marketing operations in nine countries. Satake

    is dedicated to serving the needs of customers wherever they may be,

    in countries both large and small. When customer satisfaction leads to

    trust in Satake, our dream is fullled.

    In the eld of Rice, Satake has always been one step ahead. Satake

    invented Japan’s rst power-driven rice milling machine in 1896

    and has continued to respond to customers’ demands as they change

    over time. Satake has established the global standard of modern rice

    milling through its ability to continually develop innovative products

    and processes. Today, Satake focuses on the value-added functionality

    of rice to increase the protability from rice.

    In the eld of Wheat, Satake has developed the spirit and technology

    of Robinson Milling Systems (formerly Henry Simon Ltd.) since

    1991. Satake adopted its rice milling technology to Robinson’s/Simon’s wheat processing systems and launched its “PeriTec” wheat

    debranning system in 1996, much earlier than others. Today, Satake’s

    capabilities include the ability to design, manufacture and install

    complete ourmills.

    In the eld of Maize, Satake also adopted its rice

    milling technology for maize. Maize degermers and

    Corn Fractionators are based on vertical rice milling

    machines to efciently separate bran and germ from

    endosperm. Satake offer a Modular Maize Mill,

    which produces rst class nished products but also

    has the benets of fast installation within a very

    small building footprint.

    In other elds, Satake’s technology cultivated

    through grain processing and optical colour

    sorting is now widely utilised not only in pulses

    and nuts, but also in industrial applications such

    as plastic pellet polishing and sorting and car

    bumper recycling. In 2008, Satake opened the

    Sorting and Processing Integrated Centre to

    help our customers nd solutions to all of their

    sorting and processing problems. At the centre,

    Satake performs sorting and processing tests

    on a wide variety of materials, from rice andwheat to food products and industrial plastics.

    When you think something new,

    Think Satake.
