A company, and in general any industrial reality, is well balanced and competitive when profound technical knowledge is combined with the indispensable entrepreneurial skills of intuition and imagination. The task of our school is precisely to help milling companies enrich their human resources, placing the most advanced technical know-how at their disposal as a company that designs and manufactures the machines and systems it teaches, through its dedicated courses, functions, use and maintenance. All the teachers at our school, including technicians, engineers, technologists, skilled workers and chief erector, are part of the OCRIM team.

OCRIM’s International Milling Technology School has been providing training to students from all over the world for over 58 years, as evidenced by the different courses that take place every year. In March and April, for example, we hosted respectively students from “La Pasta S.A.” company (Cameroon) and Cargill Deutschland GmbH (Germany), who attended a course with theoretical and practical courses in milling technology. The school courses’ agenda does not stop there. In fact, other dedicated courses are already scheduled for September and October. Furthermore, basic training is provided for beginners in the sector – who desire to have a concrete approach with the milling reality – upon reaching a minimum number of members, to have the best training experience.

Let’s retrace together the historical stages of the most important International Milling School.

1965 – OCRIM sets up training courses for its customers aimed essentially at learning the maintenance techniques of the mill machines. For the theoretical lessons, the classrooms of the Industrial Technical Institute of Cremona were used; the company’s assembly and maintenance departments were used for the practical lessons.

1979 – OCRIM physically creates the school in Cavatigozzi, Cremona province, equipping an area with classrooms, laboratories, a workshop and a pilot mill.

1995 – The school, almost completely renovated, was transferred from the suburbs to the headquarters (where it is still located), becoming its flagship.

2018 – Bonifiche Ferraresi, OCRIM and other realities, including research institutions and universities, sets up a training center at Jolanda di Savoia (Italy) which offers training courses and masters on agriculture 4.0.

2020 – Establishment of the futuristic Milling Hub Masterclass milling academy, whose courses focus on knowledge of seeds up to the marketing of the finished product.
