Flour milling and grain processing with vertically integrated logistics
Mennel Milling operates a nine-mill flour production network backed by grain elevators, trucking, and bakery mix facilities across the US. The company runs legacy manufacturing stack (AS/400, Wonderware PLC/HMI, SAP, Dynamics 365) typical of industrial operations at scale, with hiring concentrated in manufacturing and ops roles — reflecting focus on plant reliability, equipment maintenance, and food safety compliance rather than digitization or product innovation.
