CREMONA, ITALY — Ocrim recently announced that on June 15 it signed a contract with Dr. Fahd Balghonaim, minister of agriculture and chairman of Grain Silos and Flour Mills Organization (GSFMO), for the supply, on a turn-key basis, of a feed mill in Khamis Mushayt, in the Asir Province of Saudi Arabia. The plant will have a capacity of 35 tph and will produce various types of feed for poultry, cattle, sheep, horses and camels. Ocrim said the feed mill will incorporate the most advanced process technologies and will be able to manage automatically the programming of the production of the plant. Ocrim also noted that on Dec. 16, 2010 it was brought in as subcontractor for the Haif Company (a civil works company in Saudi Arabia) to design, supply and erect the electro-mechanical part of two 125,000-tonne silos. The silos are part of a new milling complex located in the western region of Saudi Arabia, near the holy city of Mecca. Two new 450-tonne milling plants in the Dammam complex, part of a turn-key contract with GSFMO, have been commissioned and are in full production. These mills were replacements for mills that were installed in 1978. “The continuity in the acquisition of orders in the Arabic market conﬁrms the satisfaction of the customer that rises from the excellent technological, administrative and organizing results that Ocrim is able to guarantee with its own service,” Ocrim said. “With the last
