BRAZIL – Global milling technology leader Alapala has reinforced its presence in South America with the successful commissioning of a state-of-the-art 750-ton-per-day (TPD) maize milling facility in Brazil.
This move underscores Alapala’s commitment to expanding its footprint in key emerging markets, strategic particularly in Latin America, where demand for high-quality flour and processed grain products is rising rapidly.
The project, developed in partnership with Rei de Ouro, one of Brazil’s leading food producers, marks a strategic milestone in Alapala’s expansion across Latin America and addresses the region’s growing demand for high-efficiency grain processing solutions.
Located in Brazil, the new facility is equipped with advanced automation systems, high-efficiency process design, and cutting-edge quality control technologies.
