Operating in more than 120 countries in 5 continents worldwide with the machines it manufactures and the turnkey plants it builds, İmaş announced that it is Turkey’s ‘leading export organisation operating in both grain and feed milling machinery industries’ according to official export data as of the end of 2024 as it was in 2023.
Moving rapidly towards becoming one of the world leaders in milling technologies, İmaş manufactures machinery for grain and feed milling and constructs turnkey facilities worldwide. Operating in the sector for 35 years, İmaş stands out with its significant achievements on a global scale, especially in recent years.
In 2023, İmaş managed to become Turkey’s export leader in the grain and feed milling machinery categories with machinery exports to many countries, particularly the Middle East, Africa, America, Europe, Far East, Russia and CIS countries.
According to 2024 year-end export data, İmaş, once again one of Turkey’s leading companies in the food machinery and components category, has once again succeeded in becoming ‘Turkey’s export leader’ in milling technologies, based on the total amount of exports made on the basis of grain processing machines with 8437.80 HS code and feed milling machines with 8436.10 HS code. With this unique success in two consecutive years, İmaş has reinforced its position among Turkey’s leading companies operating in both grain and feed milling technologies.
Not only the export leader, according to Turkishtime’s ranking of companies with the largest R&D budgets, İmaş has also been among Turkey’s Top 250 R&D Leaders since 2015, and also among the Top 10 R&D Leaders of the Turkish machinery industry in all industrial segments.
Mustafa Özdemir, General Manager of İmaş Makine A.Ş. and also Board Member of Loras Holding A.Ş., expressed his feelings about the export leadership with the following words:
‘It is a great pleasure for us to be the export leader of our sector in Turkey this year as we were last year. This success, which we have achieved with our highly experienced team in the sector, our long-term business partnerships around the world and the trust we can make our customers feel, is also an important indicator that we have grown day by day in 35 years. With this motivation, I believe that we will carry out works that will add even more value to our sector in the coming period. I would like to thank firstly the İmaş team, all our customers and valuable business partners worldwide for their contribution to our success.
Operating not only as a machine manufacturer but also as a turnkey solution partner, İmaş completed nearly 20 projects worldwide in 2024. In addition, the company’s current project inventory includes 40 projects with ongoing installation processes worldwide.
The grain mill (flour, semolina, corn flour, etc.) projects that İmaş completed last year are mainly located in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, while the feed mill projects are mainly located in the Middle East, West Africa and some CIS countries.
In addition, İmaş has 11 grain mill projects with medium and large scale capacities (300 tonnes/day – 720 tonnes/day) and more than 15 feed mill projects with medium and large scale capacities (5 tonnes/hour – 30 tonnes/hour) under construction in different regions around the world.
Today, İmaş stands out in the sector as a company with proven global expertise in ‘Mega Mill’ projects.
By the end of 2023, İmaş had completed one of the largest flour milling projects in Africa with a capacity of 2,400 tonnes/day for Nigerian industrial giant BUA Foods. Based on the second agreement signed in August 2024, the company will be constructing a second project with a total capacity of 3,200 tonnes/day for BUA Foods. In addition to the turnkey facilities it has established today, İmaş stands out as a reliable solution partner worldwide with its experience and expertise in ‘Mega Mill’ projects.
