What Ottevanger Milling Engineers does

Ottevanger Milling Engineers is a Dutch industrial equipment OEM founded in 1909 and headquartered in Moerkapelle, Netherlands, specializing in the design, manufacture, and integration of feed mill solutions. The company serves compound feed, pet food, aquafeed, premix, grain processing, and full-fat soya producers worldwide, with a reference list that includes De Heus, I'Anson Brothers, Fane Valley, Leong Hup International, Pilmico, Pronaca, Rothkotter, Pro Grupp, Gsellmann, Vobra Special Petfoods, and Solprovit. Its product portfolio spans turnkey conventional feed mills, containerised modular feed mills (the Modumill platform, invented in 1971 and now with 100+ installations across 45 countries), modular feed processing lines for brownfield upgrades, and a full equipment catalog covering storage, conveying, cleaning, dosing, grinding, mixing, conditioning, pelleting (Progress Pellet Mill 350/450, MonoRoll), extrusion and expanding, drying and cooling, sieving, coating, and steam/liquids handling.

Underpinning the hardware is a proprietary process automation stack: Batch Explorer MES (deployed across 250+ feed mills), web-based SCADA with self-learning controls, Cloud Dashboard for OEE/energy/maintenance analytics, and Production Tools for shopfloor execution. Revenue is generated through five streams — turnkey project delivery, modular mill sales, individual equipment sales, recurring software subscriptions, and spare parts/maintenance services — with no public pricing and direct enterprise sales via area sales managers and a webshop. The company rebranded from the Triott Group umbrella to a unified Ottevanger identity on January 1, 2026, consolidating its hardware, automation, and services businesses under a single brand from intake to packaging. Ottevanger is privately held with 51-100 employees and no disclosed external investors.
