Koolmill Systems Limited, founded in 1989 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, is at the forefront of transforming the traditional rice processing industry. With the ambitious slogan “Transforming a global food system feeding 3.5 bn people; addressing 16 SDGs to lift millions from food & fuel poverty,” they aim to tackle inefficiencies that currently result in substantial waste and economic losses in rice production.
The company has pioneered a disruptive technology that treats rice processing as a fluid operation, offering an evolved alternative to destructive mechanical methods. This leads to substantial power savings (80%), reduced food loss, and a higher quality product.
With 70% of the global rice industry protected by their patents, the firm is well-positioned to achieve rapid growth and aims to be recognized among the global top 10 suppliers by 2028. They have previously received a €50.00K grant investment from EASME - EU Executive Agency for SMEs in 2016. Future capital injections will focus on validating pilot mills and launching their novel pay-as-you-mill business model.
