With this move, Bühler now operates seven service centers in the US, serving grain, oilseed, feed, petfood, and chocolate processors, as well as brewers and distillers, inks and coatings and many others who utilize roller mills. Design Corrugating is a leading provider of roller mill parts and services, including roll reconditioning, new rolls, and other equipment parts and services, with facilities in Taylorville, IL, Oakdale, CA, Wichita, KS and Chattanooga, TN. All Design Corrugating locations will become new Service Center sites in the Bühler Customer Service network, and the entire Design Corrugating staff has joined the Bühler team. Existing operations will continue unchanged, utilizing the “pick-up, repair and deliver” model. Bühler will continue to provide parts and services for all makes and models of roller mills. Future investments are planned for equipment that will allow new services to be delivered, and the full Bühler supply chain will be leveraged to improve competitiveness in terms of cost and efficiency. Customers will also benefit from Bühler’s deep process expertise as an Original Equipment Manufacturer, to deliver improved operational insights, along with the core services already provided. Lallemand and Poultry Sense join forces to improve efficiency Lallemand Animal Nutrition has joined forces with Agri-tech company Poultry Sense to improve the reliability and credibility of data gained from commercial farm trials. At a time when accurate data is becoming increasingly important for farmers and companies alike to drive the consistent performance of farmed livestock, this partnership demonstrates their commitment to helping the industry make this a reality. Barry Thorp, veterinary adviser at Poultry Sense, said, “This trial will see us install our new real-time data solution on a couple of poultry farms that work with Lallemand, to see what impact introducing new products has on bird health, welfare and productivity.” Hannah Elliott, monogastric sales and technical support at Lallemand Animal Nutrition UK, stated that “We’re eager to embrace this new, innovative technology, which will enable us to look at poultry houses on a zone-by-zone basis as opposed to a whole house basis. This will give us much more accurate insight on how birds are performing and behaving when our products are used.”
