You should now have received your new look and feel International Milling Directory. Isn't it just fantastic!! Due to increased circulation this year we have had to print double the amount so if you have not received yours yet, rest assured it is on the way.
I would like to say a big seasonal "THANK YOU" to all our advertisers, without whose support we could not design, print and distribute the world's leading milling directory to tens of thousands of readers globally.
If you haven't ordered your Directory, don't miss out: click here and order online.
Our team of globetrotting journalists has been extremely busy in 2013; many of you will have no doubt seen at least one of us at one of the over 120 exhibitions and conferences we attend annually. We took over a thousand to the IDMA expo in Istanbul, Turkey, and a similar amount to IAOM in North Africa, all flew off our stand in record time. The experience has driven us to publish our Grain & Feed Milling Technology magazine in Turkish and Arabic in 2014.
Check out what's new and improved in the current International Milling Directory 2013/2014 edition.
Our coverage of industry associations and organisations has signficantly grown for this edition, bringing ever more of our international partners together. Most exciting of all are the ever-expanding Equipment Guides, detailing the latest technical information on over 16 different topics, from silos and storage through to hammermills and extruders.
A merry Christmas and season's greetings to all. I look forward to contacting and hearing from you all next year.
Sincerely
Tom Blacker & Tuti Tan

GRAPAS Awards entries open
Our sister publication, Grain & Feed Milling Technology magazine is proud to be co-organiser of the annual GRAPAS award for innovation.
You may think we have, over the past 150 years achieved all the progress we can towards creating an efficient milling industry the provides safe food at affordable prices and delivered to consumers on a timely basis. Not so.
There is still significant progress being made towards those objectives on an annual basis and the GRAPAS Award is designed to recognise the advances being made by industry in an area that has largely disappeared from view.
That recognition is made in the form of an award called GRAPAS, and is made at the milling industry's most dedicated event - a three sector co-located exhibition held in Asia every two years and in Europe every fourth year.
The Global Miller - a hand picked selection of the best industry information up dated every day. With news, interviews, videos and of course content updates from the IMD and GFMT magazine, the Global Miller keeps you right up-to-date.
