The project is designed to expand the mill’s grain storage volume, improve lot segregation, and enhance blend preparation ahead of milling, thereby strengthening Molini Valente’s ability to produce consistent, high-quality flours for diverse bakery applications.
The planned deal will add seed cleaning, sorting and conditioning equipment to Ocrim’s product portfolio.
The transaction will see CVC Capital Partners IX acquire Irca, the global B2B manufacturer of speciality food ingredient solutions.
The update forms part of Barilla’s broader sustainability strategy, which seeks to integrate environmentally responsible farming methods while securing a reliable supply of high-quality raw materials for its pasta, bakery, and snack products.
The recognition applauds the mill’s innovative design, engineering integration, and human‑centric approach to operation in industrial cereal‑processing environments.
