At the first African Flour Fortification Workshop held in Tanzania at the end of 2008, Mühlenchemie GmbH & Co. KG was granted the FFI Leadership Award.
Markus Bostel, Mühlenchemie’s area sales director, Africa/Middle East, and Dr. Mohammed Labenah, manager of the Mühlenchemie distributor Chemitec, received the award in Arusha. It is granted annually by the Flour Fortification Initiative (FFI) to companies, institutions and individuals that show outstanding commitment in the campaign against malnutrition. The award went to Mühlenchemie because the company will in future fortify over 70% of the flour produced in Egypt with folate and iron.
"It was important to us for the millers on the spot to be able to use the premixes quickly and correctly. That can only be achieved with comprehensive advice and training. This approach will ensure that 70 percent of Egypt’s total flour production can in future be fortified with iron and folate," said Bostel, the Mühlenchemie employee responsible for the program. |
