Bühler is replacing its old application center at the Uzwil site that was originally constructed in the 1950s. At the new building, a Grain Innovation Center, Bühler intends to develop, test and scale sustainable and efficient solutions together with customers and partners, further details of which can be found in a press release. To realize this project, the technology company from the St.GallenBodenseeArea is investing a double-digit million sum.
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 mixed feed in addition to a research and development (R&D) department. Bühler explains in the press release that the old building no longer meets the requirements for a future-oriented and safe environment for customer-specific testing and development processes.
In addition, machinery, processes and modern training infrastructure for digital and on-site customer training are to be housed at the new building. 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 innovative developments will come from the new Grain Innovation Center. Bühler is committed to keeping this key part of its research in Uzwil”, comments Peter Striegl, Head of Innovation Milling Solutions, in the press release.
