Alapala commissions 300 tpd wheat flour mill for Aruana LLP in Kazakhstan
The new mill marks the second major investment in Aruana’s milling capacity.
KAZAKHSTAN – Alapala has commissioned a new 300-tonnes-per-day wheat flour mill for Aruana LLP, one of Kazakhstan’s leading food producers, further strengthening the company’s role in the country’s milling sector.
The project marks Aruana’s second major investment in milling capacity as it seeks to meet rising demand for flour both in Kazakhstan and in surrounding export markets. Kazakhstan remains one of the top wheat producers in the world, with the milling sector playing a crucial role in its economy and export earnings.
Founded in 2010, Aruana is recognized for its “Patsha” brand flour, produced from high-protein wheat grown in Kazakhstan, a country long regarded as Central Asia’s breadbasket.
The company operates its own grain storage facilities, allowing for precise grain blending and strict quality control throughout the production process. By supplying bakeries, food manufacturers, and retail distributors at home and abroad, Aruana has positioned itself as a trusted supplier of premium flour.
The newly commissioned mill is fitted with state-of-the-art cleaning, grinding, and sifting equipment, alongside fully automated process control systems designed to optimize energy use and reduce operational costs.
This integration of technology ensures high milling efficiency and also guarantees consistent output and premium flour quality, helping the company to compete in regional markets where demand for quality wheat products continues to grow.
Commenting on the partnership, Görkem Alapala, chief executive officer of Alapala, said that Kazakhstan is a strategic market for Alapala, and they are proud to support Aruana’s growth with a tailor-made milling solution that delivers efficiency, quality and reliability.
“Our collaboration with Aruana is a great example of how we can combine advanced milling technology with a client’s strong market vision,” he said.
The new plant further consolidates Aruana’s position as a leading flour supplier in Central Asia, while also reinforcing Alapala’s presence in the region. With more than 1,000 projects completed in 120 countries, Alapala has built a global reputation for designing and delivering turnkey flour mills equipped with modern automation and energy-efficient systems.
