40 MILLER / december 2021 NEWS Bangladesh is one of the fastest-growing markets. Symaga, a leading Spanish company in grain storage systems, has developed projects for some of the major agribusiness players since 2012. It is now building a new state-of-the-art plant for City Group, one of the main agroindustry companies in the Asian country. A few months ago, assembly works started for the new City Group plant, one of the main agroindustry players in Bangladesh, that has entrusted Symaga for the second time for a silo project. This new storage plant is located in Rupshi, Dhaka, with a total storage of 406.059 m3. During the first months of 2021, the Spanish company manufactured: 31 silos SBH1986/27, 8 silos SBH1986/27, one silo SBH1757/27, 8 silos SC0350/03T45, and one silo SCE0920/25T45 – and now it is supervising the as- sembly progress. Bangladesh is one of the fastest-growing markets. Symaga has developed projects for some of the main industrial and agribusiness companies since 2012. In 2016, we consolidated our footprint in this Asian coun- try with two important projects. A new storage plant with 59452 m3 for Akij flour mill in Dhaka, where Symaga supplied 4 flat bottom silos SBH2444/26. The custom- er satisfaction with Symaga silos and service allowed us to develop the extension phase with 3 flat bottom silos SBH2750 / 25. In the same year, Symaga deliv- ered another project for City Auto Rice, a rice mill that belongs to City Group, with a total scope of 13 hopper silos (models SCE610 / 14T60, SCE610 / 13T60, SCE1070 / 17T45TE), with a combined capacity of 16.037 m3. In 2018, the Spanish company consolidated its pres- ence in Bangladesh with a grain terminal for one of the biggest local business groups, Bashundhara Ltd. This facility was built to enhance wheat trade in the coun- try. In the same year, Ar Specialized Auto Rice Mill Pvt Ltd relied on Symaga for a new silo SCE0687 / 11T45 to store paddy rice. Bangladesh has a total 648.269m3 of built storage which have been supplied by Symaga, and this year the company will complete the assembly of this new state-of-the-art oil plant of City Group. “2021 is a year marked by the continuous steel price increases and volatility that has destabilized the sec- tor, a market already hit by the impact of the pandem- ic. Symaga is proud of facing both crises, maintaining a sound orders portfolio and keeping manufacturing at full steam,” the company says. Symaga builds state-of-the-art silo projects in Bangladesh
