TÜRKIYE – Imas Machinery, a prominent player in the grain and feed milling technologies sector, has been recognized as Türkiye’s leading exporter in both grain and feed milling machinery categories in 2023, according to the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TIM).
This landmark achievement underscores the company’s pivotal role in advancing the milling technologies sector and its significant contribution to Türkiye’s export economy.
Imas has steadily expanded its global presence, exporting cutting-edge milling machinery to regions such as the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas, the Far East, Russia, and the CIS.
This global reach enabled the company to secure its position as an industry leader, reflecting the success of its 35-year journey in delivering quality and innovation to its customers worldwide.
Mustafa Özdemir, General Manager of Imas Machinery and a Member of the Board of Directors at Loras Holding, expressed his pride in the accomplishment:
“Becoming the export leader of Türkiye in our sector is a testament to the dedication of our team and the trust of our global partners. This success motivates us to continue developing innovative solutions and strengthening our contributions to the global milling industry,” Mustafa said.
According to Mustafa, Imas’s export leadership is supported by its strong emphasis on research and development.
Since 2015, the company has consistently ranked among Türkiye’s Top 250 R&D Leaders and holds a top-10 position in the Turkish machinery industry’s R&D expenditures. Innovations such as the Polymer Base Construction® for roller mills highlight Imas’s forward-thinking approach, combining efficiency with durability to enhance the milling process.
The company has also demonstrated expertise in managing large-scale projects. In late 2023, Imas completed one of Africa’s largest flour mills for BUA Foods in Nigeria, boasting a capacity of 2,400 tonnes per day.
Building on this success, a second agreement with BUA Foods in 2024 paved the way for a new 3,200 tonnes-per-day facility, further solidifying Imas’s reputation as a reliable partner in mega mill projects.
Additionally, Imas has delivered 20 milling projects worldwide in 2024 and is overseeing 40 ongoing ventures. These include medium- and large-scale grain milling projects in Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and Zambia, as well as feed milling projects in Egypt, Nigeria, and Kazakhstan.
