Zmajevo is situated amidst the most fertile lands of the region. It also benefits from close access to the railway connecting Belgrade with Budapest. These enviable circumstances demanded a plant with fast turnaround capability, fitted with machinery that is easy to use and reliable in operation. A further specific requirement was the flexible and simultaneous unloading, processing, storing and dispensing of different types of products. Naturally, the plant hat do adhere to high food saftey standards, environmental protection and energy saving requirements.
Our investment in the equipment from Bühler was justified. We made the right choice. We have one of the best plants in the regions.

Excellent teamwork resulted in a very efficient project flow throughout, from the initial planning to the installation of the individual units.
