Milling and processing, connected

Our own wheat mill brings flour production into the same complex as our starch, glucose and gluten operations.

Located on the Isfahan–Naein road, the complex combines raw-material storage, milling and downstream processing. Bringing these stages together supports closer coordination of material preparation, production planning and quality control.
