Company profile
Cornmill Hungary Ltd. is a dynamically improving company dealing with corn processing and with wholesale of agricultural products and commodities.
The corn-processing plant was built by the first Corn Production System (CPS), the so called IKR Common Company in 1980. This company adapted the most modern tillage and farming technologies to Hungary and it was operating till 1991. Later the company became independent and the IKR Corn-Processing Ltd. was founded.
The main activity of the company is production of corn millwork products for the feed and food industry. Processing capacity reaches 60.000 tons of corn yearly.
The technology, which was bought from the Italian OCRIM company and which is still considered to be up-to-date proved that the founders made good decisions once concerning the dry-way processing. The safe and top quality products products are well sold on the market.
With a new ownership structure the name of the company was changed to
Cornmill Hungary Ltd. in 2010. Parallel with these changes, also the field of activities was enlarged. Cornmill became a reliable trading partner for the producers. The trading volume of commodities exceeds 150 thousand tons/year.
