Anderson International

What Anderson International does

Anderson International Corp is a privately held US industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1900 in Stow, Ohio, that designs and builds mechanical processing machinery for three end markets: oilseed extraction, synthetic rubber finishing, and animal feed production. Its core technology platform is built around the Expeller continuous mechanical screw press, originally invented by founder Valerius D. Anderson, and has since extended into a family of proprietary machines including the Dox high-shear extruder, the Solvex expander for solvent extraction preparation, the Super Duo and Lion expeller variants, the Expander-Extruder-Cooker for feed, and the Expander/Dryer for synthetic rubber moisture removal. The company reports 12,000+ pieces of equipment delivered into 1,000+ plant installations across 100+ countries, with some installations from the 1920s still in operation.

The business operates on a capital equipment sale model with three primary revenue streams: (1) equipment sales of complete processing systems and individual machines, (2) replacement parts for the installed base, and (3) lifecycle service, installation, commissioning, and training. Pricing is quote-based on a per-project basis, with no publicly disclosed tiers. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales from Stow, Ohio with a global representative network, plus a strategic joint venture with Dutch firm Ottevanger Milling Engineers operating under the Anderson Feed Technology brand for the feed segment. Customer segments include oilseed processors (soy, sunflower, canola), polymer/rubber manufacturers, feed processors (pet food, animal feed, aquatic feed), and biofuel producers using soybean oil feedstock. Anderson holds ISO 9001:2015 with Design certification for its polymer operations.

Products and services

• Expeller® Press Original continuous mechanical screw press used for mechanical extraction of edible oil from oilseeds, capable of processing over 100 different materials. Sold to oilseed processors and edible oil producers.
• Dox™ Extruder High-shear extruder that cooks, dries, and shears oilseeds ahead of the expeller press, deactivating harmful enzymes and preparing proteins for efficient pressing. Sold to oilseed processors.
• Solvex™ Expander High-pressure cooking expander that prepares oilseed material for solvent extraction by creating dense, porous collets that improve solvent flow and extraction efficiency. Also used for patented rice bran stabilization. Sold to oilseed processors and rice bran producers.
• Expander/Dryer® Mechanical drying equipment for synthetic rubber that converts liquid to steam that flashes from the polymer, offering a more economical alternative to traditional apron dryers. Sold to synthetic rubber manufacturers with crumb rubber finishing lines.
• Super Duo Expeller™ Series Dual-press design that crushes material twice in a single pass for maximum oil recovery efficiency, particularly effective for high-oil-content materials such as coconut. Sold to oilseed processors.
• Lion™ Expeller® Press Heavy-duty expeller press designed for energy-efficient production of premium expeller-pressed meal and oil without external heat. Sold to oilseed processors.
• Expander-Extruder-Cooker™ Modified screw press for the animal feed market that at higher shaft speeds with steam/water injection, solid barrel, and specialized discharge continuously cooks feed materials and forms uniform structure for enhanced nutrient absorption. Used for pet food, animal feed, and aquatic feed production. Sold to feed manufacturers.
• ECOMEAL™ Soybean Meal Branded expeller-pressed, sustainably-produced, chemical-free soybean meal product used as a premium protein source for animal feed applications.
• Anderson Feed Technology Integrated feed processing solutions brand combining Anderson's equipment with Ottevanger Milling Engineers' expertise, offering complete extruded and pelleted feed systems to feed manufacturers.

Direct peers

• Crown Iron Works: Crown Iron Works is a direct peer — it designs and manufactures oilseed preparation, extraction, and processing equipment globally, competing head-to-head with Anderson on solvent extraction and meal processing systems for soybean, canola, and other oilseeds.
• French Oil Mill Machinery Company: French Oil Mill Machinery is the closest direct peer — it also manufactures mechanical screw presses for oilseed extraction, serving many of the same oilseed processors with overlapping Expeller-style equipment offerings.
• Desmet (Desmet Ballestra Group): Desmet is a direct peer in oilseed and fats processing equipment, providing extraction, refining, and modification systems to vegetable oil processors worldwide — overlapping with Anderson on solvent extraction preparation and oilseed processing lines.
• Ottevanger Milling Engineers: Ottevanger is Anderson's JV partner (Anderson Feed Technology) but also a peer in feed processing equipment. It supplies feed mills and extrusion systems and competes with Anderson's standalone feed offerings in the global animal feed and pet food market.
• Roskamp Champion (CPM subsidiary): Roskamp Champion is a direct peer in mechanical pressing and oilseed preparation equipment, with high-pressure screw presses and cracking/flaking systems that compete with Anderson's Expeller and Solvex lines on oilseed processing projects.

Broad incumbents

• Bühler Group: Bühler is a broad incumbent in food and feed processing equipment, offering complete plants that include extrusion, pressing, and processing systems. It competes with Anderson in feed processing through the Ottevanger JV's overlap and is a much larger diversified supplier.
• CPM (California Pellet Mill): CPM is a broad incumbent in feed, oilseed, and biomass processing equipment, with screw presses and extruders that overlap Anderson's Expeller and Expander-Extruder-Cooker lines, particularly in the feed and oilseed preparation segments.
• GEA Group: GEA is a broad incumbent supplying industrial processing equipment and complete plants across food, feed, and dairy. It competes with Anderson on larger integrated oilseed and feed plant bids where GEA's scale and full-line offering give it prime-contractor advantages.
• Alfa Laval: Alfa Laval is a broad incumbent in industrial separation, heat transfer, and fluid handling used across oilseed, biodiesel, and feed processing. Its decanters and heat exchangers compete with portions of Anderson's Expander/Dryer and extraction systems.

Emerging players

• Myande Group: Myande is an emerging Chinese player supplying oilseed processing, refining, and complete plant equipment. It increasingly competes with Anderson on price-sensitive international oilseed extraction projects, particularly in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
