Bühler builds technology center for milling in Uzwil
Bühler is building a new milling technology center at the Uzwil site. The Grain Innovation Center is to be built on the site of the application and training center by 2024 and will offer a completely new infrastructure for training and research and development at Bühler.
Bühler is replacing its old application center at the Uzwil site, which dates back to the 1950s, with a new one. From 2024, Bühler intends to work with its customers and partners to develop, test and scale sustainable and efficient solutions for grain and animal feed processing in the new Grain Innovation Center. The technology company from the St.GallenBodenseeArea is investing a double-digit million amount for this.
Among other things, the new building will offer an integrated cleaning and grinding process for all types of grain, a feed grinding process for all types of compound feed and a research and development department. According to the information, the old building no longer meets the requirements for a future-oriented and safe environment for customer-specific tests and developments.
In addition, the machines, processes and a modern teaching infrastructure for digital and on-site customer training are to be housed there. The training center will be attached to the existing Application & Training Center, the Cubic Innovation Campus inaugurated in 2018, the Bühler Energy Center and the recently announced Protein Application Center, which is still to be built.
“All new developments will come from the new Grain Innovation Center. Bühler will continue to keep this important part of its research in Uzwil,” Peter Striegl, Head of Innovation Milling Solutions, is quoted as saying.
