Gyermelyi Zrt. has built a new mill, with which the company’s daily wheat processing capacity increases to 800 tonnes – this is the biggest capacity at a single site in Hungary.

Thanks to the investment, Gyermelyi will process 90,000 tonnes more cereal grains per year, making it possible for the firm to serve the ever-growing demand from retailer trade. The new mill utilises state-of-the-art technology, and its environmental load is minimal. As the mill’s energy use is very efficient, Gyermelyi’s competitiveness also increases. The project was realised from HUF 6.5bn, from which HUF 1.7bn was non-refundable state loan within the framework of the Investment Support Scheme for Large Companies. Gyermelyi – which employs more than 500 people – also created new jobs with the investment.

The new mill was inaugurated by Gábor Erős, MP for Komárom-Esztergom county, MIhály Varga Minister of Finance and Béla Tóth, chairman of the board of Gyermelyi Zrt.

A visit at Gyermelyi

Gyermelyi Group is Hungary’s market leading pasta maker and egg producer. At the group’s farms 140 million eggs are produced every year, and in the pasta factories they are using up to 700,000 fresh eggs on a daily basis, from which 3 million portions of pasta are made. Few people now that the group manufactures its products in a system of fully closed vertical integration, which stands alone in Europe. This significantly increases the production stability and product safety for Gyermelyi products.

In the last five years the group invested more than HUF 22 billion, spending more than HUF 6.6 billion on development last year. Gyermelyi has already begun a HUF 3 billion new project, thanks to which cereal storage capacity will increase by 40,000 tonnes from the summer. In the near future they will also start using a new 140,000-hen egg laying facility. (x)
