GEA signs contract to build the largest Olive Oil mill in Asia

The order is the second phase of an ongoing project and will enlarge the existing olive oil plant – successfully built in 2016. The contract is a result of a long cooperation and relationship between NADEC Group and the technology group GEA in food processing, and more particularly in the dairy products sector as well as the success achieved in the first phase of the project. The second phase will involve civil engineering, automation engineering, processes and all the necessary industrial equipment to manage the olive oil plant successfully. The project, led by GEA, accommodates the combined efforts of several Spanish machine manufacturers, which in the end will be configured as an integrated solution – practically a "turnkey" Olive Oil mill. "We were able to offer NADEC a differentiated and integrated solution from the hands of a single supplier," explains Rafael Cárdenas, Head of the Center of Excellence for Olive Oil of GEA in Úbeda (Spain). Once the construction process is completed, this facility will be largest and most modern olive oil mill in Asia.
