Miller Magazine Issue 107 / November 2018

A brisk period for us We are going through a very busy period as Miller Magazine. Our team participates in events all over the world and keeps the pulse of the sector. After attending Grain Processors Forum in Odessa and the 13 th Congress of Russia Flour and Cereal Companies in Moscow, we were in Internati- onal Grain Trading Conference organized by the Russian Grain Union in Antalya and the annual IAOM MEA conference & expo in Nairobi. We met with sector stakeholders and listened to their problems. We interviewed executives of industry’s leading companies. In this issue, you will read these interviews: Erhan Ozmen, the CEO of Ozmen Un and Chairman of the Board of Southeast Turkey Flour Industrialists’ As- sociation (GUSAD) praised Turkish flour industry for being highly speci- alized in production as well as exportation. He stressed that Turkish flour sector can sustain its pioneering role in exports with products of high added value. We have also interviewed Kerim Selek, Chairman of Exe- cutive Board of Genc Degirmen, about their energy saving investments as well as their activities and operations. And Pablo A. Fernández, Global Sales Director of Silos Córdoba, told Miller Magazine Cordoba-based company’s expansion to overseas markets. Lastly, Mr. Sergio Passaro, Golfetto Sangati’s Area Manager for Italy, Russia and Balkan area, tal- ked about their vision and future plans. While we were excited about preparing rich contents for the magazine with these significant interviews, we were shaken by the death of Noyan Galip Erik, a doyen of Turkish milling industry. Erik was a prominent figu- re for Turkish milling industry. He was also a member of advisoy board of the Miller Magazine. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Ayşe, their daughters Ekin and Pınar. We will miss our Uncle Noyan. editor Parantez Media Parantez Media Parantez Media company/miller-magazine millermagazine MillerMagazine Parantez Publishing and Congress Ltd. Gökevler Mah. 2312 Sok.
