Zeman&Co celebrates the opening of the new seed maize plant in Geinberg with Saatbau Linz

Zeman and Co celebrates the opening of the new seed maize plant in Geinberg with Saatbau Linz.

According to a press release from Saatbau Linz, “One of the most modern seed maize plants in Europe … will start operation at the beginning of September. SAATBAU LINZ is doubling its production capacity to 1.1 million packets of seed with this plant, which was built in record-breaking construction time at the Geinberg site in the Innviertel region.

The first facilities at the Geinberg site in Upper Austria were built by Zeman & Co in 2006 for Saatbau Linz, one of the most successful agricultural cooperatives. The first expansion stage followed in 2009 – also with the involvement of Zeman & Co. In late autumn 2013, Zeman & Co was commissioned with the construction of the storage halls, the de-licing hall, the production facilities, the cladding of the dryer plant including all plumbing work and the fire smoke ventilation.

Cimbria Haid, which is responsible for the entire plant construction, subsequently also entrusted the plant steel construction and the steel structures of the conveyor bridges to Zeman & Co.

Due to the scope of the project and the tight time frame, ZEMAN GROUP’ s capabilities were bundled and the order was processed in close cooperation between Zeman & Co and PEM GmbH from Mauthausen.

ZEMAN has been a reliable partner in the field of steel construction, hall construction, cladding and plant construction in Geinberg and Neuhof for many years, and has once again impressively demonstrated this with the seed maize plant in Geinberg 3.
