Spotlight on Africa
The symposium will give special attention to the African continent. Experts from Nigeria, Tanzania and Algeria will describe the current position of the milling industry in Africa and give an overview of expected future challenges. The topics of the lectures and discussions will include raw materials and markets, technological developments, composite ﬂours, new wheat ﬂour products and progress in the campaign against malnutrition. And ﬁnally, we have not forgotten the subject of laboratory analysis and dough rheology: experts from Brabender and Perten will report on new developments in metrology for assessing the quality of grain and ﬂour.

The focus of this year’s symposium is on Africa. Prominent experts will discuss what contribution the African milling industry can make to improving nutrition in the population.

The famous supporting programme
Full as the two days are with specialist information: in the evening, at the legendary “Flour Power Party”, there will be plenty of time to renew personal contacts. Those who have taken part in previous symposiums know that Mühlenchemie offers its guests an unforgettable supporting programme with entertainment – and this time, too, the entertainment will be excellent. On the Wednesday the motto will be “all aboard the paddle steamer Louisiana Star”, an impressive event ship with the ﬂair of the southern states, which will bear the participants away on a fascinating trip round Hamburg Harbour. And on the second evening the Milling Family will meet in the party hall of the luxury hotel Grand Elysee for the grand ﬁnale of the symposium with dinner, music and dancing. SternMaid is a state-of-the-art blending and ﬁlling plant where all of Mühlenchemie’s ﬂour improvers are compounded. And the Technology Centre in Ahrensburg will open its doors to allow an insight into the interdisciplinary cooperation that is an important feature of the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe. Then, as a cultural highlight, there will be a visit to the impressive ﬂour art museum in Wittenburg that now houses over 2,000 ﬂour sacks from Mühlenchemie’s customers. By the way: the contributor who sent the 2010th ﬂour sack to Mühlenchemie last year will be presented with the newly created ﬂour art award during the symposium.
