The Automatic Mill in the city of Pardubice belongs to the UNIMILLS a.s. private company, which has been successfully conducting business in the flour-milling industry since 1993. The large mill is equipped with high end flour-milling devices, which guarantee high quality flour-milling. The mill ranks among the ten largest and most powerful mills in the Czech Republic.
