Turkish milling
industry review

Publishers Ltd, United Kingdom
A new venue and new
date top of the list of
changes as IDMA thrives
IDMA has been running for just
five editions but it has already
made its mark on the interna-
tional milling events circuit. No
longer just a local show, the exhi-
bition has gone from strength to
strength, attracting visitors and
exhibitors from far and wide.
However, after the success of
IDMA 2013, event organiser,
Parantez, has not been content
to sit back and relax. In fact, the
team has already begun work on
the next edition and has revealed
several changes to look forward
to for IDMA 2014.
The next show will take place
between December 11-14, 2014.
The shift from its usual March/April
date to December is in order to
attract as many visitors as possible.
The new date falls in the relatively
quiet period between planting and
harvesting, which Partenez hopes
will appeal to the cereals and pulses
sector.
A new date is not the only
change for IDMA 2014. The
show will also have a new home
at the TÜYAP Istanbul Fair
Center. Visitors to the 6-hall,
44,000 m2 venue will be able to
enjoy a greater product range,
while exhibitors will be able
to showcase their products on
larger stands.
The great attraction of IDMA
is the wide range of machinery,
products and services under one
roof and the larger venue will
help accommodate this further.
Visitors will be able to see the lat-
est technologies from the world
giants in the cereals and pulses
processing industries.
The participating companies will
present their latest technologies
developed for flour, semolina,
corn, rice and feed mills and
pulse cleaning, packaging, pasta
and biscuit manufacturing plants
to the taste of the visitors for the
first time.
Besides these; grain storage silos, fill-
ing, conveying and unloading systems,
laboratory equipment, additives, â

Obial
Obial and its parent group,
Altuntas are located in a
wonderful spot near Aksaray.
Mount Hasan looms near the
head office and factories for
Obial and Alfan where a sur-
prising amount of products are
manufactured.
We loved that the office has
a circular part to resemble
a silo, and the separately
housed mosque for staff is
also designed in the style of
a silo! Inside the factories,
staff were busy working with
elevator buckets, augers,
industrial fans and all kinds
of silos in mass production.
It was an impressive surprise
to see the range of products
the company has moved into.
Obial has recently opened an
enormous new factory, which
really shows that its expansion
is still ongoing and they truly
wish to keep up with demand.
There is even a 1 km² area of
land reserved for fruit trees
providing food for the com-
pany too.
We also noted that Altuntas
has developed its customer
base far and wide outside of
Turkey. This enables Altuntas
to be there for its customers in
many regions of Africa and Asia
especially.
After these visits, we were
taken back to the offices for
tea and conducted interviews
with Aybek Kali who spoke
in five languages for a very
international set of interview
videos.
A pleasant group of people in
a very pleasant and scenic area.
The only way is up for Obial.

parts and supplier industry products
will also be on display.
Once again Perendale Publishers Ltd
will be a media partner of the show.
“Wearereallyhappytobeinvolved
with IDMA again. The show just
keeps on improving which is great,”
says Tuti Tan events manager,
Perendale Publishers.
In addition, Perendale Publishers
will be the sole UK agent for
the show. The company will be
responsible for selling stands and
promoting the show.
“We are delighted to work with
the team at Parentez to promote

cially as it is growing in impor-
tance each year,” says Tan.
UK companies can apply
for government funding to
attend IDMA 2014 as part of
a European-wide scheme for
trade show access and seminars.
The UK branch of the scheme is
run by UK Trade & Investment
(UKTI), a government organisa-
tion which helps companies rise
to the opportunities and chal-
lenges that globalisation offers.
UKTI’s Tradeshow Access
Programme (TAP) provides
grant support for eligible SME
firms to attend trade shows
overseas. Grants are available to
help with travel costs and to pay
for trade stands at exhibitions
across the world. Interested com-
panies and individuals can apply via
an accredited trade organisation
such as the British Pig Association.

Bastak
Bastak is located near the
capital city, Ankara in central
Turkey. We met with Mr Zeki,
managing director and Suzan
Kızılok, marketing manager for
a wide-ranging talk about the
development of Bastak and
their relationship with us.
The staff at Bastak were brilliant
in showing us all their products
which were especially lined up in
the main laboratory. There was
even a new laboratory-friendly
sized roller mill for testing grains
and feeds which was proudly
shown off. This is a very inter-
esting product and one we will
be watching for its full range of
applications. Their ambition and
dedication is really impressive. We
wish them well for the future.
Imas
Imas took us on a rapid but
comprehensive tour of all parts
of their production facilities in
Konya. We saw many milling
and semolina roller machines in
different stages of production,
as well as sieves and sifters
being crafted in another area of
the factory. We were interested
to talk to our main contact,
Muhammed Yiğit, marketing
executive who was happy to
pose for photos with the other
executives and factory workers.
We were later introduced to
Muhammed Uzun, marketing
manager for Imas who pro-
vided some good feedback
about IDMA and how posi-
tively busy he had been since
the exhibition.

6. Optivite shares
knowledge with Turkish
egg producers
Increasing performance through
good bacterial control in both
broilers and layers, improving egg
shell quality and reducing bacte-
rial loading on the farm were
some of the key issues cov-
ered at a series of meetings with
Turkish egg producers. These
were undertaken by natural ani-
mal feed additive manufacturer,
Optivite, UK and their long-
standing Turkish distributor Ekol.
In recent years, Turkey has always
been ranked near or in the global
top ten producing countries for
chicken meat and egg production.
The Turkish Statistical Institute
reports that egg production has
increased by 10 percent over
the past 12 months to 1.4 billion
units and the number of slaugh-
tered chickens rose 2.8 percent
over the same period.
“We were delighted to be able
to advise Turkish farmers on how
best to improve the perform-
ance on their farms
and overcome their
current challenges,”
said Richard Remmer, director of
technical support, Optivite.
The presentations were to rep-
resentatives of several layer farms
in the central Konya region and
to a number of broiler integrators
in Adana on the southern central
Mediterranean coast; Tuna Sevgi,
the local Ekol sales manager
explained that here climate and
heat are important factors to be
considered.
In addition to the Optivite
presentations, Prof Hasan Kutlu
from Çukurova University gave a
presentation on the importance
of balanced nutrient levels for
egg quality and the impact of
contamination of feedstuffs with
mycotoxins. This he explained
can lead to lower eggshell qual-
ity, blood and meat spots and a
creamy yolk.
Flour treatment specialist
invests in production and
research facility in Izmir
Turkey is one of the most
dynamic and complex markets
in the world. In order to meet
the increasing demands of local
bakeries producing bread and
pastry goods, Mühlenchemie and
its long-standing distribution part-
ner ABP are intensifying their
cooperation. With the opening
of a production plant of its own
for flour improvers and flour
fortification premixes in Izmir, the
joint venture intends to meet the
challenges facing flour improve-
ment in Turkey and its neigh-
bouring regions.
ABP has been the distribution
partner of the flour treatment
specialist Mühlenchemie since
1992. The two firms have now
established the joint venture
ABP Mühlenchemie Gıda Sanayi
ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi as a
partnership on a basis of equal-
ity. In this context, the new
company has set up a research
and production facility of its
own in order to be in a better
position to meet the needs
of the region’s milling industry.
By doing so, it has cleared the
way for sustainable growth in
Turkey.
“Thanks to the new production
plant and our joint venture
with ABP we are now able
to serve the dynamic Turkish
market for agricultural prod-
ucts and food more systemati-
cally and flexibly”, says Lennart
Kutschinski, managing director,
Mühlenchemie.
“A knowledge of local condi-
tions and good relations with
our customers, including thor-
ough advice, are essential for
our business if we are to offer
additional value with individual
system solutions. In ABP and
Mühlenchemie, two excellent
partners have intensified their
cooperation to ensure a suc-
cessful future.”
Kemal Kantar, the owner of the
ABP group, welcomes the clos-
er business relationship, “The
two companies have the same
attitude to quality. We have
been importing Mühlenchemie’s
products for over 20 years. But
since the demands made by
our local mills are much greater
these days, production on the
spot is the logical conclusion if
we are to continue our partner-
ship.”
