Swiss milling and technology start-up swisca ag wins the coveted and prestigious Best of Show Award at the IAOM (International Association of Operative Millers) international milling trade fair in the United States. With a world first and enormous energy efficiency, the industry newcomer from Appenzell succeeds in convincing the jury of experts at the 125th anniversary conference.

Milling technology start-up swisca ag wins the important prize in Little Rock (USA). The jury of experts was especially convinced by the unique "Dampe" dampening system from the think thank in Appenzell. This system uses nozzles to spray the grain with fog of water at the very beginning of the processing chain in the mill. This enables higher efficiency in flour production later on. At the same time, the innovation scores with an energy efficiency that is unrivalled  in the market and a high level of food safety.
