The Ocrim
Headquartered in Cremona, Ocrim is recognized worldwide as a reliable partner in the design and supply of milling plants, feed mills, grain processing lines, end-of-line systems, and storage. Its ongoing commitment to research, customer service, training, and communication has always driven a dynamic and innovation-oriented teamwork.
In Cremona, Ocrim has two operational facilities: the historic complex in Via Massarotti, which houses the offices and part of the production facility, and the Cremona industrial area, home to the main production departments, logistics offices, and the Milling Hub, built in collaboration with Bonifiche Ferraresi. The latter was established with the aim of strengthening the Italian agri-food supply chain by offering to food companies without a milling facility the opportunity to take advantage of a customized facility, supported by the technical and technological expertise of the Ocrim team.
Among the company’s strengths are its turnkey projects, custom-developed to meet each client’s specific needs. This increasingly popular formula allows clients to rely on a single point of contact — from design to post-commissioning training — capable of ensuring high professional standards and consistent project management. This category also includes the Superior compact mills, a strategic and intelligent solution that, thanks to complete assembly at the Ocrim workshops, reduces overall construction times, building costs (as it requires a warehouse to house it), and the bureaucracy associated with specific buildings. The Superior mill stands out for its high energy performance and low operating costs, making it ideal for both those new to the milling industry and those looking to expand their offerings with a compact, high-performance system. Born in the 1950s, the Superior has become an icon of advanced engineering that has contributed to Ocrim’s industrial and international growth. Today, it presents itself in its current guise, completely reengineered and with high-tech applications.
The OcrimFBC department – specializing in the design and construction of end-of-line systems, palletizing, and packaging systems – also plays a key role. Fully integrated within the company, OcrimFBC offers customized solutions, representing a key step in the internalization of the production chain. In this way, Ocrim guarantees an Italian Made product, traceable, controlled, and certified at every stage.
Ocrim’s solidity and versatility were further confirmed in 2025 with the acquisition of Grespan, a Treviso-based company with over sixty years of experience in the production of feed systems. The transaction, which follows the 2024 acquisition of Sima — a company specializing in grain storage — strengthens Ocrim’s expertise in the feed sector, expanding its industrial supply chain and enriching “The Italian Agri-Food Chain Choice” project, of which the company is a key player.
With the goal of offering durable systems and high-quality services, Ocrim develops increasingly efficient and sustainable solutions, focusing on innovations related to sanitation, reducing energy consumption, and maximizing the technological performance of its systems, with a constant focus on containing operating and maintenance costs. The Modular Mill Concept, introduced a few years ago, fits this bill: technology that allows only part of the milling section to be shut down for routine or unscheduled maintenance, while maintaining production in the rest of the plant. This intelligent solution has evolved over time and is now widely adopted by customers for the clear and concrete advantages it offers.
In the field of automation, Ocrim manages the development of its control systems internally, avoiding the need for external structures. The @mill package, which integrates numerous application modules, and the @rollermills system, which allows remote control of rolling mills via tablet, along with the use of Artificial Intelligence, represent cutting-edge solutions designed to make work in the milling sector increasingly simple, precise, and digital.
Always focused on constructive customer contact, Ocrim has confirmed its commitment to service through the success of the O|Parts project – www.oparts-shop.com – which has revolutionized access to spare parts by drastically reducing waiting times and ensuring extremely accurate configurations. Building on this success, the new Ticketing platform has been active since 2026, designed to offer even more advanced customer support. Ticketing allows you to manage emergency interventions, technical requests, training, and annual support packages in a digital, integrated, and transparent environment.
Training is a fundamental and untouchable element: the historic International School of Milling Technology, with 60 years of experience, is now joined by the Milling Hub Masterclass training center, created in synergy with the Milling Hub project. This initiative is designed for already trained technicians and offers a highly specialized program that ranges from seed knowledge to the marketing of finished products, providing a comprehensive overview of the grain supply chain.
Thanks to these positive transformations, Ocrim’s Research & Development department is constantly engaged in the study of new strategies and cutting-edge technologies, in collaboration with prestigious Italian universities, with the aim of generating value and progress for the entire milling sector.
Ocrim’s communication is based on authentic dialogue with those who share the company’s values and vision. It is the expression of an innovative spirit that never ceases to evolve, just like the milling world it portrays daily.
Ocrim is present in major national and international publications, on LinkedIn and Instagram, and on the website www.ocrim.com, completely revamped in 2025. This digital platform is designed to bring people together, with sections dedicated to Customer Service, the company museum, and the Ailati blog, where stories, experiences, and reflections on the future of the sector are shared.
In 2020, Ocrim chose to further open up its communications by launching webinars and, shortly thereafter, On-demand meetings, technical and scientific events that allow it to stay in touch with customers and partners around the world, even remotely.
These new ways of communicating have, over time, been so successful that the company has introduced another new media medium: in 2022, the first O|News Live was broadcast, a sort of corporate newscast hosted by three Ocrim employees. The program was broadcast from the company’s O|Theatre — a multipurpose space also designed for meetings and client engagements — or from alternative locations, in keeping with the themes of each episode.
Ocrim’s dedication to communication is also reflected in its hospitality. Visitors to the company and its team can experience the soul of Ocrim firsthand at the O|House, a historic residence in the heart of Cremona, and the O|Farmhouse, a typical Cremonese farmhouse renovated and inaugurated in 2022: meeting places where guests are welcomed as part of the family.
Tailor-made solutions and customized machines are also offered, bringing the company’s expertise to the most important international trade exhibitions and events.
And finally, the “Wheat, Flour and…” event, which every year attracts hundreds of customers and enthusiasts from around the world. This is the company’s signature event, which has become a true trademark. These days are packed with technical, educational, cultural, and convivial content — different each year — designed to reflect the current historical moment and market needs. “Wheat, Flour and…” expresses better than any words what it truly means to be part of the great Ocrim family.
Ocrim thus continues to confirm its role as a global leader in the milling sector, thanks to significant and fundamental investments, and by combining tradition and innovation, expertise and passion, to build the future of the Italian and international agri-food sector.
