What Feedtech does

Feedtech Makine Sanayi Ltd. Sti. (Feedtech) is a Turkish manufacturer of machinery and turnkey factory systems for the global feed industry. Founded in 1969 as a family-owned feed producer, the company pivoted to machinery manufacturing in the 2000s and now produces the full range of equipment required for feed processing—from raw material intake, grinding, mixing, conditioning, and pelleting through extrusion, cooling, coating, and packaging—including patented technologies such as RTB Hygenizers for pathogen control and Automatic Roller Calibration Systems. The company operates a 6,500 m² production facility in the Manisa Salihli Organized Industrial Zone with a 518 kWp rooftop solar system, supported by an R&D unit at Manisa Teknokent and a wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary (Feedtech International BV, est. 2013) that anchors European market access.
