Great projects of 2018: Djen Djen, Sudan, Myanmar and Mexico
ounded in 1985, Symaga Silos now have broadened their expertise to produce industrial silos. Their group has only continued to flourish, and already they have completed several successful projects in 2018 alone that are helping cement their position as premium quality silo and machinery producers. Symaga’s facilities are based in la Mancha, featuring a manufacturing plant occupying up to 60,000m2 in their 100,000m2 building area, as well as family-owned land of four times that size. They also opened a commercial office in Madrid in 2007. Their factory only contains the latest, stateof-the-art technologies to ensure that each and every product manufactured is of top quality. Symaga takes stock of 2018 with an increasing number of important projects in its portfolio, ensuring a growing turnover and references list for the next few years after becoming a global key supplier of silos for major storage projects worldwide during last year. These projects include the new storage terminal and extrusion of soybeans plant in the Algerian port of Djen Djen, with a capacity of 240,000 tonnes and a scope of 12 silos of 32 metres in diameter, among the largest in the world made of

steel, plus other storage solutions to complete the needs of this will-be leading plant in the sector. This soybean oil extraction plant within a port facility joins Symaga’s list of references in logistics terminals, a strategic development path for Symaga. With capacity to process 1.6 million tonnes per year, this plant and terminal built in Algeria becomes one of the most important port structures in the Mediterranean. Logistics and safe storage play a key role in food safety strategies. Symaga storage solutions have been chosen by the Sudanese government to uphold access to food in the African country through a grain storage project with 300,000 tonnes of capacity. The project is divided into two plants with more than 90 silos in Barakat city, on the coast of the Blue Nile, and in Manaqil city, in the state of Al Jazirah. This project has been developed together with Symaga’s client CTS Steel Silos/CTS Group. In 2018 Symaga has also deepened its trade links with new commercial destinations. Asia is a key area for Symaga’s strategy thanks to the growing demand for storage that is expected in the coming years. In the Panamanian city of David, Symaga has signed a new rice plant with a capacity of 38,500m3, distributed in 13 silos designed to improve the conservation of rice, with fully perforated aeration floors and double walls to increase thermal insulation. The list of references in the American continent is also on the uptick. Grupo Modelo, a leader in the production, distribution and sale of beer in Mexico, with exports in more than 180 countries, has relied on Symaga for its new plants in Zacatecas and Puebla, with a total of 22 hopper silos and a capacity of more than 27,000 m3. Also in Mexico, a new bioethanol plant of 27,000m3 capacity has been supplied. With these projects, 2018 affirms Symaga Silos as a leader in the manufacturing of industrial silos for the largest storage projects in the world. Its manufacturing capacity, its technological commitment and coordination and technical excellence provide the perfect basis for the Symaga team to guarantee the development of large facilities. www.symaga.com
