Established in 1921, Pitura Seeds is a fourth-generation family farm and a third-generation seed company based in Manitoba, Canada. Over the past century, this industry leader has evolved from a small regional seed grower to a prominent player in the North American agricultural landscape.
Pitura Seeds' success can be largely attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality, efficiency, and forward-thinking innovation – values that align seamlessly with Cimbria's own industry-leading expertise. The partnership between Pitura Seeds and Cimbria dates back to 1998, when Calvin Pitura, first considered the value of Cimbria's cutting-edge processing equipment and technology.
Recognizing the need to expand and modernize their operations, Pitura Seeds decided to construct a new, state-of-the-art facility in 2017. After extensive research and a cross-continental tour of production facilities, the Pitura team was consistently impressed by the prevalence of Cimbria equipment – a testament to the company's reputation as an industry leader. Cimbria was the natural choice to help them achieve their vision with the new plant.
At the heart of this state-of-the-art facility is a Cimbria-powered processing line that delivers unparalleled flexibility, capacity, and quality. Designed to handle a wide range of crops, including cereals, pulses, and oilseeds, the facility is capable of processing an astounding 800 to 1,000 bushels per hour – exceeding its original 22-ton-per-hour design specification.
The key to this exceptional performance lies in the strategic use of Cimbria technologies, carefully selected and integrated by the Nexeed team to meet Pitura Seeds' exacting standards. From the gentle handling of delicate pulses and soybeans to the precise density separation and optical colour sorting, every step of the process has been optimized for maximum efficiency and product integrity.
With Cimbria and Nexeed as trusted allies, Pitura Seeds is poised to continue its century-long legacy of excellence, delivering the highest-quality seeds to its customers across North America. This unwavering commitment to "doing it right the first time" has been the driving force behind Pitura's success and will undoubtedly propel the company forward for generations to come.
