In 1997 UAC of Nigeria Plc acquired a major shareholding in Grand
Cereals & Oil Mills Limited, located on a 16-acre site at Kilometre
17, Zawan Roundabout, Bukuru, Jos South, Plateau State, Nigeria.
The company which was incorporated in 1983, was originally designed
to produce baking flour from imported wheat. Faollowing the ban placed
on imported wheat, GCOML modified its operation and production objectives,
and today, this growing subsidiary of UACN Plc is steadfastly engaged
in many value-added agricultural-based industrial activities.
The result is seen today in the current production
and marketing focus of the company. GCOML consistently delivers to
consumers, high quality cereals, oils and feed, via the careful application
of internationally acclaimed techniques to manufacture premium products.
The core activities being carried out by GCOML take place through
the operations of the following production units:
-
A CEREAL MILL capable of processing Maize into Flour, Grits and
Offal as by-product. The Cereal Mill also cleans Sorghum for
industrial use.
-
AN OIL MILL capable of processing Groundnuts, Soya Beans, Palm
Kernel and Cotton Seeds into high quality Groundnut Oil, Soya
Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Deodorized Groundnut Oil, Cakes, Soap Stock
and Lecithin.
-
AN ANIMAL FEED PLANT capable of processing the by-products (bran
and cake) from the Cereal and Oil mills respectively at 140 tonnes
per day. The plant is also capable of processing pelletised poultry
feed, cow, pig and fish feed on request. Incorporated in the
feed plant is the concentrate/premix plant. The feed plant has
undergone a number of capacity expansion initiatives, the latest
being the new ultra modern, fully automated feed plant, ready for
full activation by June 2004. This new plant will take the company's
feed production capacity to 400 tonnes per day.
-
STRATEGIC SILOS capable of holding 16,000 tonnes of grains.
