Uzwil (Switzerland), Aqaba (Jordan), July 26, 2022 - Swiss technology group Bühler and Jordanian Al-Hazaa Investment Group celebrated the opening of the Red Sea Flour (Ayla Mill) in Aqaba, Jordan, on July 4. With the opening of Ayla Mill, powered by Bühler’s state-of-the-art technologies, both companies take another major step in addressing challenges in food security. Products from the new mill will be supplied to customers in Jordan and other countries in the region.
The Red Sea Mill, owned and operated by Al-Hazaa Investment Group, is the largest mill in the southern region of Jordan, with a production capacity of 240 tons per day and a storage capacity of 3,000 tons. Ayla Mill is also the only flour mill in the city of Aqaba. With the opening of Ayla Mill, Al-Hazaa Investment Group is strengthening its presence in the Middle East by increasing its milling capacity to 5,000 tons per day and operating at three main Arabian ports in the region.
The city of Aqaba was chosen as a strategic location for the mill as it enables Al-Hazaa Investment Group to make a strong contribution to the region’s food security. As Jordan’s only seaport, the location of the mill at the port of Aqaba will facilitate the export of products to neighboring countries as well.
For this project, Al-Hazaa collaborated once again with Bühler to build the largest and most modern mill in the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea. Ayla Mill is equipped with the latest Bühler technologies including the operation system Mercury MES, Diorit roller mills, and Norit purifiers. It will also be the first mill in Jordan to use the digital platform Bühler Insights, providing it with the latest data transparency and analytic tools to maintain optimal production efficiency 24/7. The suite of advanced technological solutions from Bühler will increase efficiency and ensure high-quality products.
