Ocrim, Grespan Impianti forge strategic alliance to deliver turnkey feed production solutions

ITALY – Italian milling technology specialist Ocrim has entered into a strategic partnership with Grespan Impianti, a long-established designer and builder of turnkey feed production plants.

The alliance aims to offer high-tech, flexible, and efficient solutions to the global feed and agri-food industry, the companies announced.

Founded in 1961 and headquartered in Castrette di Villorba, Italy, Grespan Impianti brings more than six decades of experience in developing systems tailored for the livestock, food, and agri-food sectors.

Over the years, Grespan has evolved from serving Italy’s livestock industry to delivering custom-engineered solutions for feed manufacturing, food premix production, and bulk material handling, including storage, dosing, and mixing systems used in food, paint, and construction industries.

“Together, the two companies offer integrated, high-tech, flexible solutions geared toward maximum efficiency. Our alliance is rooted in shared Italian manufacturing values, a commitment to innovation, and an ability to deliver on diverse customer needs,” the companies said in a joint statement.

Ocrim, based in Cremona, Italy, is a global leader in the design and manufacture of milling equipment for wheat, maize, and other grains.

The company has built a reputation for engineering excellence, innovation, and international project management. It has completed high-profile flour and feed mill installations in more than 150 countries.

The collaboration will leverage Ocrim’s milling expertise and global project execution capabilities with Grespan’s extensive experience in feed and agri-food system design.

Grespan has a notable international presence, having installed facilities in countries across North Africa and the Middle East, including Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia, as well as in Eastern Europe —Ukraine, Hungary, and Russia.

In 2019, Grespan completed the largest feed production facility in Algeria, highlighting its engineering capacity and technical leadership in large-scale projects.

By combining their know-how, the partnership is well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for advanced feed solutions, driven by the expanding livestock and poultry sectors and the need for food security through localised feed production.
