DHAKA, BANGLADESH — Symaga manufactured and delivered two silo installations for Danish firm Cimbria as part of the Bangladesh government’s Modern Food Security Project (MFSP) to support agri-food sector expansion for the country’s growing population.

One plant is located in the town of Naranyanganj reaching up to 12 Silos SBHX1834/15, and the second one is in Barisal, a city located in the Ganges Delta, with 16 silos SBHX1680/13.

The government has launched a plan to build grain storage plants at several strategic locations that will be equipped with a “Food Stock and Market Monitoring System.” The objective is to supervise the food stock, as well as the transport and the overall market to reduce inefficiencies.

Bangladesh is a key country for Symaga, with 1.5 million cubic meters of built storage in 150 silos assembled. The country’s main agribusiness players such as City Group, A R Specialized, Auto Rice Mills, Akij, and Basundhara have relied on Symaga’s industrial silos. 

Symaga has participated in other projects in the Asian country at a port terminal for one of the large business groups in the country, Bashundhara LT, and in a few weeks will start the assembly of the Chittagong terminal. Less recently, the company has participated in several feed mills.

Based in Villarta de San Juan, Spain, Symaga specializes in the design, manufacture and marketing of galvanized steel silos for grain storage, which are used in different sectors such as brewing plants, feed factories, port terminals, mills, bioethanol plants, dryers, flour mills, as well as storage of raw materials for the plastics, biofuels and biomass industries.
