Networking at IAOM 2023 in Minneapolis
The Annual IAOM Conference & Expo is the premier meeting place for grain milling and seed processing professionals. In April 2023, the focus was again on knowledge sharing, networking and exchange of experiences. SWISCA was right in the middle of this important platform. A big thank you to all customers and visitors to our booth at the 127th IAOM Conference in Minneapolis. The stimulating conversations and the trust in our products are an important motivation for us. We are grateful for the close cooperation and look forward to many more successful and good meetings at IAOM 2024 in Salt Lake City.
National Future Day 2022
"Next Generation" is more than just a slogan at SWISCA. With great enthusiasm, we opened our doors to the children of our employees on Future Day. For one day, the girls and boys were able to get to know the diversity of the professional world in the milling industry. In the work areas of machine production, electrical assembly, construction and mill technology, the pupils got a taste of the professional world and thus broadened their horizons for their career choice. The project day at SWISCA shows young people perspectives and motivates them to develop their own life plans. With this action day, SWISCA inspires young people for the "Next generation milling technology".
Prominence at the IAOM 2022 in Zanzibar
We were pleased to welcome political VIPs at IAOM Mideast & Africa in Zanzibar: Hussein Ali Mwinyi, President of the Zanzibar Sub-State, learned about innovative milling technology from Juan Martinez and Stefan Lutz of SWISCA AG. In conversation with Milling and Baking Africa, Martinez presented the innovative, energy-efficient scale solution for the milling industry that does not require compressed air. The Zanzibar president was knowledgeable and said how important it is to him to have a good environment for advanced technology initiatives in Zanzibar.
成为技术领导者
初创公司SWISCA AG在美国IAOM国际制粉商品交易会上赢得了最佳大奖。来自阿彭策尔(Appenzell)的行业新人由于行业首创,成功地在 125 届年会上说服了专家评审团
SWISCA AG成立三年后,这家总部位于阿彭策尔(Appenzell)的初创企业已经获得了一项重要的国际行业奖项。小石城的专家评审团对Swisca工程师独特的“DAMPE”着水系统印象深刻。在工艺的前端使用喷嘴水雾喷洒谷物,可使的面粉生产效率更高,同时,该创新在能源效率和食品安全方面取得了市场上无与伦比的成绩。
SWISCA AG创始人兼董事会成员Heinz Brand表示:“这个奖项对整个团队来说是一个巨大的荣誉和激励。 创立公司时我们就定下来要做创新创业先锋,为传统行业带来新的理念,并付诸实践,现在我们做到了。” 尽管如此,在这个最重要的制粉行业大会上获得这一殊荣并不是理所当然的:“我们非常清楚这一点,参与竞争的作品都很好,因此在125届年会结束时,专家评审团将我们的作品选为最佳,这更令人满意。“
研磨均匀,高出率
面粉厂的一个重要工艺是润麦,以确保均匀研磨和高出率。为了达到最佳研磨条件,小麦要着水并在筒仓中润麦,这样麸皮层变得坚韧而富有弹性,内部的胚乳软化。这是在碾磨过程中高效地分离外壳和胚乳的最佳条件。Swisca的这个发明,可以在称量过程中精确测量水分和密度,并且可以精确计算着水量。这是全新的工艺,最小的能源要求,将水分用水雾施加到小麦表面。 该机器是与总部位于圣加仑(St. Gallen)的Trinox Engineering AG共同开发的。同时还采用了在线清理技术,自动清理,保证食品安全。 “我们的工艺可节省90%以上的能源。”。Heinz Brand进一步解释道:“迄今为止,市场上的其他产品都采用了高能耗和食品安全有隐患的方案,采用大型旋转搅拌方混合水和小麦是非常不卫生的。
需要瑞士创新
在阿彭策尔制造的机器已经出口到40多个国家。主要市场是欧洲和北美,也就是说,那里的资金略多些。但也出口到了例如苏丹、尼日利亚、孟加拉国和印度尼西亚等国。
Heinz Brand表示:“为真正的创新产品定价在价格管理中仍然是一项非常复杂的任务。越高的创新程度及其市场机会,要达到最佳价位的挑战越大”,他说:“SWISCA相信,“瑞士制造”的价值除了价格,还代表质量、精度、信誉和安全。” Heinz Brand解释道:“对我们来说,便宜是不可持续的,即使机器行业的出口再次受到非常强劲的瑞士法郎汇率的影响。以企业家看未来,我们希望有意识地专注于创新和瑞士工程服务。瑞士的条件非常优越;我们是世界上最具创新力的国家之一。 工程师人才和快速高效地利用瑞士创新能力是我们持续成功的先决条件。Heinz Brand 还认为:“通过技术和产品的转移,再加上低劳动力成本,也许可以快速地产生高利润,然而,这也会永久地破坏公司的创新能力。”
加强国际业务网络
SWISCA团队正尝试更多的发明,以投放市场。 Heinz Brand表示:“专利申请费用高昂且耗时,但对SWISCA来说这是必要的,是为了保护技术发明免于仿制。还有一点可以透露:我们相信IAOM的获奖不会是我们的最后一次。”因此,公司还将持续开发节能和食品安全的产品组合。有SWISCA的企业家精神、战略能力和行业网络,以及投资者的雄厚资金,公司产品的销售和服务网络将在国际上得到加强。“我们希望推动售后市场业务,为更多应用场景开发新的机器解决方案,从而实现产品组合的可持续多样化。我们的愿景:用五年时间,通过极具创新能力的员工和高质量发展,SWISCA成为一家行业技术全球领导者的瑞士公司。”
国际谷物加工协会
IAOM年会是谷物加工业的最重要的活动,汇集了来自世界各地的碾磨以及相关专业人士。它也是世界上最大的谷物加工机械展览会,参会企业超过140家。
SWISCA股东大会选举新董事长
Charly Fässler因年龄原因辞去了初创公司SWISCA AG董事会主席的职务。在前财务总监的领导下,SWISCA AG在阿彭策尔(Appenzell) 制造的精密设备出口到了一些重要的食品加工企业,分布在20多个国家。Charly Fässler的成功在于建立了清晰的愿景,可持续的战略和灵活的公司结构,使公司有潜力在财务和运营方面取得长期绩效。
在 2020 年9 月 21 日的年度股东大会上,Charly Fässler 因其作为董事会主席取得的成就和重大贡献受到了高度赞赏。
Peter Steindl随后当选为Charly Fässler的继任者。Peter Steindl是Steindl集团的董事总经理和TPG的首席执行官。2006年,Peter Steindl从M.A.X. Automation GmbH的管理层收购了FAWEMA公司,并于2011年收购了HDG公司。2018年,HQ Equita公司收购了领先的包装机制造商FAWEMA和HDG(Steindl集团),并成立了包装集团。Peter Steindl是一名工业工程师,是德国工程联合会(VDMA)食品加工和包装机械部的董事会成员。他今年59岁,已婚。Peter Steindl先生的企业家专长,战略能力和行业网络,以及投资者的财务实力,将使SWISCA AG的销售和服务网络将在国际范围上得到加强,售后市场业务将得到推广,为新应用开发新的机器解决方案,从而使产品组合多样化。
国际制粉大奖颁给了阿彭策尔的SWISCA
初创公司SWISCA AG在美国IAOM国际制粉商品交易会上赢得了最佳大奖。来自阿彭策尔(Appenzell)的行业新人SWISCA AG,因为行业首创,成功地在 125 届年会上使专家评审团信服;由于”大量水雾“,这是真的,赢得了小石城(美国)的重要奖项。阿彭策尔(Appenzell)工程智囊团独特的“Dampe”加湿系统使专家评审团信服。该系统使用喷嘴在加工环节的最开始处为小麦喷洒水雾。这样可以使后面的面粉生产更高效。同时,在能源效率和食品安全方面也取得了市场上无可匹敌的创新成果。

瑞士摔跤节,阿彭策尔(Appenzell)
"Schwingen"是在瑞士流行的自由式摔跤的一个项目。它在锯末铺成的地面上进行的。这种摔跤被认为是瑞士的国民运动,排在"农夫高尔夫Hornussen”和“抛石赛Steinstossen”之前。摔跤手穿着带子的摔跤裤 "Schwingerhosen",用于加强握力。
抛掷和抱摔很常见,首先将对手的肩膀推到着地的将赢得比赛。这个瑞士山地运动根基无法清楚地追溯。洛桑大教堂中的第一个描绘可以追溯到13世纪。到19世纪,雄心勃勃的运动教练将它带到了城市中。因此,最初的牧羊人和农民的游戏变成了一项涵盖所有阶层的全民运动。
传统上,每25年才举行一次ESV周年庆典。2024年9月8日,在瑞士阿彭策尔(Appenzell),举行庆典。这是每一个"Schwinger"(高山摔跤手)职业生涯中的一个独特机会,他们将与120名竞争者竞争。
SWISCA是2024年瑞士高山摔跤运动125周年庆典的共同赞助商。
