30 NEWS MILLER / OCTOBER 2019 Symaga expands into new markets Symaga, a Spanish family-owned business with an in- ternational scope, specialized in designing, manufactur- ing and marketing of galvanized steel silos, strengthens its growth rate by expanding its export destinations and consolidating itself as a reference company in storage projects worldwide. Bendigo is the location of one of Symaga’s strategic references for this year. The project of a new feed fac- tory for Ridley, one of Australia’s largest feed manufac- turers, which has 18 feed plants throughout the eastern states. “Our customer LGPM has requested 34 hopper silos to achieve a capacity of 12077m3 in the second plant that the Austral- ian company builds in Bendigo.” the company said. Another satisfactory project is Skeena Bioenergy in British Co- lumbia, which brings about the first project in Canada for Syma- ga silos. These two hopper silos installation marks a commercial milestone for Symaga, the first step for Symaga’s North American business expansion. Bakhresa, one of Tanzania’s top food groups, is now expanding its storage capacity of their at Dar es Salaam facilities. The project entrusted to Symaga includes 3 silos of 200 tons for corn storage. Bakhresa, owned by Tanzanian businessman Said Salim Bakhresa, has operations in several African countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Rwan- da, Burundi, Zimbabwe and in South Africa, as well as Tanzania. For Symaga, with projects in more than 140 countries, opening to new markets like North America or Australia is key in the company’s business strategy, but so is consolidating growth in markets where pen- etration began only a few years ago, as is the case in some African countries. “As we are proud of our long-term business relationships with key partners, these new ven- tures come as an endorsement of Symaga’s constant product qual- ity and service over time. This is one of the reason behind French cooperative FAO’s trust in Syma- ga for a new storage project with 3000 tons total capacity.” the company said.
