Austrian company RWA (Raiffeisen Ware Austria) embarked on a transformative journey with Cimbria a decade ago. As the Serbian market flourished into a pivotal growth area, RWA made a strategic investment decision to create their own seed and food processing facilities in Serbia. The outcome? To create state-of-the-art processing plants—focusing on precision and top-quality product output—built in collaboration with Cimbria. The latest plant is in Serbia, nestled in the heart of the Vojvodina region, where black soil reigns supreme. This groundbreaking facility, with an investment of over EUR 6 million, is poised to redefine seed and food processing.
The Unveiled Groundbreaking Plant
At the core of RWA Serbia lies a clear vision: to process seeds with unwavering precision, ensuring uncompromising quality, purity, and growth. Our mission was equally resolute: supply a plant that met RWA’s exacting standards. Designed to handle a diverse range of crops—including cereals (wheat,barley, rye, triticale), rapeseed, legumes (soybeans,peas), corn, and sunflower seeds—the facility boasts impressive capabilities. With a capacity to handle 15 t/h of cereals, 10 t/h of legumes and corn, and 5 t/h of sunflower seeds, RWA Serbia stands as a game-changer in the industry.
