Bühler has opened a new, state-of-the-art Milling Academy – a 1,800-square-meter training center for food and feed millers – at the heart of its headquarters in Switzerland. Designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry, the facility combines decades of expertise with the latest technology and modern teaching methods. Direct access to research and training centres enables course participants to gain unique hands-on insight into key industry areas.
The milling industry plays a vital role in global food security, but it is also navigating an era of significant change and challenge. In addition to ever-higher food safety standards and the need for efficiency and sustainability, millers are facing increasing pressures from climate change, a shrinking skilled workforce, and supply chain volatility. Against this backdrop, technology and digital solutions are emerging as powerful tools to boost yield, profitability, and resilience. However, realizing the full potential of these advancements depends on a well-trained workforce. This makes advanced, hands-on training programs for millers more important than ever before.
“With the opening of our new, state-of-the-art Milling Academy, we are empowering the next generation of milling professionals by offering advanced training, hands-on experience, and access to the latest technologies,” says Stefan Birrer, Head of Business Area Milling Solutions at Bühler Group. “This ensures customers can meet evolving industry demands and drive continuous improvement throughout the food and feed sectors.”
The Milling Academy is the place where industry professionals can deepen their knowledge, expand their network, and drive innovation for a more efficient and sustainable food value chain. The facility provides participants with direct access to Bühler’s Grain Innovation Center, multiple research and training centers, and the CUBIC innovation campus. Participants gain practical experience across every aspect of the milling process, from raw material intake to final packaging.
