A Long and Rich Story
VMI has been building on its mixing expertise for over 70 years.
Our core businesses in the artisanal bakery (with the Mahot, Rex, and Phebus brands) and the paint industry (with the Rayneri brand and the Turbotest® mixer) have guided our experts in accompanying the growth of our customers in their respective markets. Through international development and the industrialization of its mixing solutions, VMI was able to enter new markets such as snack foods, catering, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
VMI has become a leader in mixing solutions by developing and patenting innovative technologies, including:
- The first Verymix® continuous mixers and horizontal vacuum batch mixers with cooled bowl on the market.
- The first automated mixing system with staged fermentation.
- The widest range of planetary mixers, with volume capacities from 10 to 900 liters.
- Trimix with three independent agitations and a vacuum introduction in the heart of the emulsifier. This vacuum homogenizer can be integrated into complete cleanroom production platforms.
- Kneadster® double tool batch mixer, which can be integrated into a robotic kneading system with suspended shuttles.
- Continuum®, the only continuous vacuum mixer on the market.
To continue its business development, VMI made its first company move in 2017. Our employees moved into our current location, premises with a total grounds area of 13,000m². Our new location now combines the VMI production site and headquarters.
