    Bühler builds technology center for milling in Uzwil

    Bühler is replacing its old application center at the Uzwil site, which dates back to the 1950s, with a new one. From 2024, Bühler intends to work with its customers and partners to develop, test and scale sustainable and efficient solutions for grain and animal feed processing in the new Grain Innovation Center. The technology company from the St.GallenBodenseeArea is investing a double-digit million amount for this.

    Among other things, the new building will offer an integrated cleaning and grinding process for all types of grain, a feed grinding process for all types of compound feed and a research and development department. According to the information, the old building no longer meets the requirements for a future-oriented and safe environment for customer-specific tests and developments.

    In addition, the machines, processes and a modern teaching infrastructure for digital and on-site customer training are to be housed there. The training center will be attached to the existing Application & Training Center, the Cubic Innovation Campus inaugurated in 2018, the Bühler Energy Center and the recently announced Protein Application Center, which is still to be built.

    “All new developments will come from the new Grain Innovation Center. Bühler will continue to keep this important part of its research in Uzwil,” Peter Striegl, Head of Innovation Milling Solutions, is quoted as saying.

    Bühler AG has officially broken ground for its new Energy & Manufacturing Technology Center in Uzwil. The building in the immediate vicinity of the Cubic Innovationscampus, which was inaugurated in 2018, underlines the technology company’s long-term renewal strategy, according to a media release. Completion should be in the second quarter of 2023.

    On the one hand, the building consists of an energy center. The center for “good, positive energy” is to become the center for vocational and advanced training as well as for health prevention. Young men and women are trained there in the areas of plant engineering, polymechanics, automation and IT. This center should also be accessible to external partners.

    “We are clearly committed to the success model of our vocational training and lifelong learning. We are also expanding our health expertise much more and making a further contribution to keeping Uzwil as an attractive business location, ”said Christof Oswald, Head of Human Resources at Bühler, in the media release. Overall, the Energy Center aims to make Bühler more attractive as an employer.

    The second part of the building, the Manufacturing Technology Center, will house the areas of innovation and prototype construction. “Here we will manufacture innovations for our customers as pilot projects that we will later introduce in other production plants around the world,” said Andreas Schachtner, Head of Business Development in Manufacturing, Logistics & Supply Chain, in the media release.
