The agreement is an opportunity for the companies to combine their expertise, resources and experiences, the companies said.
Founded in 1966, Omas is a well-known equipment manufacturer within the flour, maize and rice mill industries. Located in Padova, Italy, Omas systems are sold and installed throughout the world. The company’s equipment includes the Leonardo Roller Mill, which features variability in the roll differential and may reduce energy consumption by up to 70%.
“This new alliance provides a tremendous opportunity to combine Omas’ revolutionary technology with Bratney’s industry-leading engineering, construction and service technicians,” said Peter Bratney, president of Bratney Companies. “This further reinforces Bratney’s reputation as a market leader in new and innovative solutions. I anticipate this partnership will bring great value to our customers in the U.S. and Canada.”
Founded in 1964, Bratney began as a plant supplier to the U.S. Midwest seed and grain markets. Today, Bratney is a market leader in the engineering, design and supply to the seed, feed, grain and food industries throughout the U.S. It provides equipment, process engineering and design as well as millwright and concrete expertise for new and existing customer facilities. With headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa, U.S., Bratney also has U.S. offices in Boise, Idaho; Kansas City, Missouri; and Sacramento, California, along with field crews and territory managers throughout the U.S. and South America.
