In 2015, Sheffield,
Iowa based company Sukup Manufacturing Co. consolidated its operations with the
acquisition of Danish company Dan-Corn A/S, and now can enjoy an increased and
profitable global market share. Milling & Grain recently visited their new
Danish operation to discover why this is a landmark event for both companies
and the wider industry.
"We are
looking forward to continued growth with DanCorn and the expanding
opportunities in protecting grain and increasing profit for farmers,"
commented Charles Sukup, President of Sukup Manufacturing Co.
Amongst their
portfolio of engineering and manufacturing, Sukup Manufacturing Co. can take
pride in being one of the top grain bin companies in the US. They have expanded
at a higher rate than their competitors, growing over eight times since 2002,
and the secret of its success are strong core values.
The company is family
owned, with three generations involved in all aspects of the business for over
50 years.
A glance at Sukup's
innovative catalogue is impressive. For example, they have produced
AutoCAD/Google Sketchup designs for the planning of new facilities and then set
these onto Google Earth.
This brings many improvements for customers as they
can see live how the plans will look. There is also a strong history of
servicing, which makes them a reliable and capable company, and inspires
customer trust. At the last count, Sukup were responsible for 3,300 silo sites
around Europe.
Sukup manufacture
and maintain among many product also drying bins. They are air dispersed which
means they benefit from more efficiency with special floor design and vertical
lifting augers (stirring system).
They are also responsible for an innovative
Vacuum cooling system, used on there mobile- stack- and tower-dryers. Sukup
Europe have unified their facility to a warehouses and assembly workshops. This
gives not just “pluck and play” supply but also all-round supply from there
11.000 m² large warehouse facility.
