1. 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, efficient 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
first International School of Milling Technology was founded. Today
the School is considered one of the company’s flagships. 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 its
philosophy. Indeed, the company benefits from considerable visibility,
both through national and international publications of the sector and
via its three websites.

4. 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 first 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 and
repeatability 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 benefits 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
fit 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 fulfilled.
In the field of Rice, Satake has always been one step ahead. Satake
invented Japan’s first 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 profitability from rice.
In the field 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 flourmills.
In the field of Maize, Satake also adopted its rice
milling technology for maize. Maize degermers and
Corn Fractionators are based on vertical rice milling
machines to efficiently separate bran and germ from
endosperm. Satake offer a Modular Maize Mill,
which produces first class finished products but also
has the benefits of fast installation within a very
small building footprint.
In other fields, 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 find 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 and
wheat to food products and industrial plastics.
When you think something new,
Think Satake.
