Global food security fortified: Symaga reaches new milestones in worldwide storage projects
The company’s portfolio now includes 18,000 major projects, over 60 million cubic meters of built storage capacity and a presence in 154 countries.
GLOBAL – As the world navigates the complexities of a shifting global supply chain, Symaga, the Spanish titan of industrial silo manufacturing, has announced the completion and commencement of several high-capacity storage projects that span nearly every continent.
Headquartered in Villarta de San Juan, Spain, the company has solidified its presence in 154 countries and recently surpassed a monumental milestone: 60 million cubic meters of storage capacity across more than 18,000 major projects.
In Europe, the company is responding to a heightened demand for industrial infrastructure. Germany has become a focal point of recent activity, with Symaga currently overseeing the installation of 40 large-capacity hopper silos and an additional 45 medium-capacity units.
Meanwhile, in Poland, the firm has supplied over 300,000 cubic meters of capacity to enhance the country’s industrial reserves.
Perhaps most poignant is the revival of projects in Ukraine; despite ongoing regional challenges, Symaga is actively expanding storage for the nation’s largest vegetable oil producers, signaling a resilient return to oilseed infrastructure development.
The Middle East and Africa remain central to Symaga’s strategy of supporting national food security.
In Egypt, a critical project for the National Service Projects Organization (NSPO) is nearing full operational status.
Located in El Sadat City, this facility features 14 massive silos with a combined capacity of 70,000 tons, serving a modern flour mill that is vital to the Egyptian food safety strategy.
Further south, the company has completed a specialized supply for a modern flour mill in Sudan, designed to facilitate regional export operations even amidst a volatile economic climate.
Symaga’s reach also extends into the burgeoning markets of Asia and the Americas.
In India, the company is completing two major plants in Telangana and a legume-processing facility in Gujarat.
Across the Atlantic, Mexican partners have moved forward with two massive projects totaling over 242,000 cubic meters, while a unique parchment coffee storage project is underway in Nicaragua.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Symaga has completed a new feed mill in the Philippines, while its Australian partner continues to develop projects with hopper silos.
These expansions signal the company’s growing footprint across multiple continents and industries, from grain handling to feed production.
To keep pace with this global demand, Symaga has launched an ambitious €3.8 million (US$4.5 million) investment plan for 2026 to strengthen its technological capacity, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
This initiative focuses on “smart” manufacturing, integrating new robotic cells, laser cutting systems, and an automated punching line to enhance precision.
Furthermore, the newly established Fulfilment Department aims to streamline the bridge between production and the end user, ensuring that while silos remain rooted, logistics remain fluid.
On the product development front, Symaga has expanded its research, development and innovation team as it works to improve silo systems and related equipment.
Recent work has led to updates in key components, including a more compact aeration ring for hoppers to make assembly easier, and a new peak platform that provides safer access to the top of silos, featuring safety railings, a ladder connection, and a non-slip grating floor.
By targeting a transition to 100% electric factory equipment by 2030, Symaga is proving that storing the world’s grain doesn’t have to cost the earth.
