摘要

MIDDLEBURG, VA. — In a discussion with the U.S. embassy over a visa application to enter the United States, Stefan Birrer of Buhler was asked to list the countries he has visited.Mr. Birrer, who heads industrial milling globally for Buhler, hesitated and said, "Honestly, it may be shorter if I list for you the countries I haven't visited."Even at the fairly young age of 46, Mr. Birrer has logged wide ranging experience in the milling business (in addition to millions of miles of travel), a background giving him rich perspective on the dynamics of global milling.
