Crespel & Deiters Group constructs new state-of-the-art silo building
Largest infrastructure investment in company history
wheat processor Crespel & Deiters commissioned the construction of a new €18.5m silo building at the beginning of the year – the largest single investment in infrastructure in the company’s history. This new development aims to expand storage and handling capacities while securing the company’s value chain, and ability to operate flexibly and globally. Collaboration with regional partners is also playing a crucial role in the project.

The company has been continuously expanding the factory premises at its main site. In 2018, the MT facility (flour storage and separation plant) was established with an innovative combination of raw material storage, loading bridges and machinery. Three years later, the A-starch dryer, designed for energy efficiency, hygiene and operational reliability, was commissioned. With these investments and the commissioning of the new silo building, Crespel & Deiters aims to make the entire production process more efficient in order to continue to provide unrivalled service and top-quality products for its customers.
The silo project: facts & figures
Four smaller silos had to be removed before work could begin on the new project. The shell was created using slipform construction, with the concrete formwork growing upwards with the building, allowing the exterior facade to be completed within two weeks. Next, 18 silo cells will be installed and equipped with the latest technology. The new facility, with a capacity of approximately 2,000 tons, will become operational at the beginning of 2026.
