Grains handling specialist VIGAN has been very active in Central and South America for many years, with much of its equipment sold to the region.
The company’s many prestigious customers in the Americas include the Cargill group (Brazil and Mexico),ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) in Brazil,TISUR in Peru (ROMERO group, one of the largest in the country — which is so delighted with its VIGAN equipment that it is featured on the company’s website!), and Moinho Pacifico in Santos (Brazil), the largest flour mill in South America.
Among recent completed orders is a 600tph (metric tonnes per hour) pneumatic unloader, which was delivered to the Santa Marta port in Colombia (see picture above).
