Bühler commissions first tahini halva processing line at Silo Foods Industries in North Africa

Swiss technology group Bühler (https://www.BuhlerGroup.com/)has completed a processing line for tahini halva, from receiving and handling raw sesame seeds to the finished product, at Silo Foods Industries in Sadat City, Egypt. The food processing complex is an affiliate of the National Service Projects Organisation (NSPO). The tahini halva line is part of the second stage at Silo Foods Industries, which was officially opened by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in early February.

This is the first complete tahini halva processing line supplied globally by a single technology provider, in one of the most advanced food complexes ever built. The project is a significant showcase of Bühler’s presence in the Middle East, Africa and India region, says Hesham Barakat, Head of Business Development and Consumer Foods, Middle East and Africa, at Bühler Group.

“Silo Foods Industries contributes significantly to sustainable food processing practices in Egypt by boosting productivity, improving quality, and increasing efficiency,” says Barakat. Combining all the manufacturing steps in a single site reduces the transportation time along the value chain as well as the overall manufacturing footprint. “Innovative solutions with energy-saving features were always at the core of the decision-making criteria at Silo Foods Industries,” he adds.
