Pasta & Noodles

The installation marks a step change from traditional lab scale presses by covering the full early production sequence; mixing, kneading and extrusion, and by enabling complete digitalization of process data alongside AI assisted analysis functions that support more precise formulation and process optimization for pasta manufacturers.

The US$40 million investment strengthens Olam Agri’s wheat milling and pasta manufacturing capabilities in West Africa and represents a major milestone in Ghana’s drive to deepen domestic production, enhance food security, and accelerate industrial growth.

The move reinforces Orior’s strategic ambition to deepen its footprint in the premium fresh pasta segment across Europe.

The new formula combines 95% wheat and 5% pea protein.

Building on the experience and success of a decade of wheat processing, Olam Agri is developing a pasta production plant adjacent to its facility in Tema.
