Ocrim Open Days - The Anticipation Builds

More than 250 milling professionals from over 21 countries. One auditorium. One shared purpose. As the seats fill and conversations echo around the room, the excitement is unmistakable. Delegates from across the global flour milling industry are eagerly awaiting the arrival of OCRIM S.p.A.'s President, Sergio Antolini, and CEO, Alberto Antolini, as the curtain rises on three unforgettable days at the 2026 OCRIM Open Days. But this event is about much more than machinery, automation, AI, and milling technology. What makes OCRIM truly unique is its culture. Throughout the event, a recurring theme has been that while artificial intelligence, automation, and data may drive efficiency, it is people, knowledge, values, and relationships that give industry its purpose. Stefano Mazzini's inspiring message reminded delegates that culture is not simply heritage, it is curiosity, education, generosity, community, and investing in future generations. From supporting young talent through scholarships and training initiatives, to preserving the cultural heritage of Cremona, OCRIM continues to demonstrate that successful businesses can also be powerful custodians of people and place. That philosophy resonates deeply with the international audience gathered here today. Over the next three days, attendees will explore the future of milling, discuss the challenges facing the agri-food sector, discover the latest technological innovations, and strengthen partnerships that span continents. But perhaps most importantly, they will become part of the OCRIM story, a story where innovation and tradition walk hand in hand.
