LAKTO Dairy Technologies

What LAKTO Dairy Technologies does

LAKTO Dairy Technologies (legal entity: LAKTO Hayvancılık Teknolojileri San. Tic. Ltd. Şti.) is a Turkey-based manufacturer of dairy farming equipment, headquartered in the Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone in Çiğli, İzmir. The company designs, produces, and installs milking parlor systems (herringbone, parallel, rotary, and small ruminant configurations), milking equipment (clusters, pulsators, liners, jetters, milk pumps, plate coolers, hoses), barn equipment (ventilation fans, feeder locks, stall bars, grooming brushes), and manure management systems (chain scrapers, pumps). Its product portfolio is organized into six tiers — LAKTO-EKO (entry-level), LAKTO-AES, LAKTO-TEK, LAKTO-PRO, LAKTO-TOPRO, and the flagship LAKTO-TOPROLAB — plus standalone components and consumables.

The company's primary technical differentiation is the patent-pending LAKTO-AK milking cluster, which features a 490 cc claw volume and a heterogenic liner wall design intended to mimic hand milking or calf suckling, accompanied by a separately filed international peer-reviewed patent application for LAKTO Milking Liners claiming a 70% somatic cell count reduction in trial applications. Complementary proprietary components include the LAKTO-PULS electronic pulsator (cross-brand compatible, indirect valve control via 0.11 Amp pilot coils), the LAKTO-CIP automatic washing system, and the MILKPORT Mobile Hybrid Milker, a solar-powered mobile milking and cooling unit designed for sheep and goat farmers in remote grazing contexts. Higher-tier parlours integrate herd management software, ICAR-approved electronic milk meters, and (at the TOPROLAB level) real-time milk component analysis.

LAKTO generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of turn-key milking parlor installations and individual components, professional services (farm planning, training seminars, one-on-one training, consultancy), and after-sales installation and support. Distribution is direct via a bilingual Turkish/English website, phone, WhatsApp, and email. End customers include dairy farm operators (primary), small ruminant farmers, and agricultural cooperatives; LAKTO products participate in Turkish government subsidy programs offering up to 50% support in southeastern, eastern, and central Anatolia. The firm is privately held, has six disclosed employees, and operates with a primarily Turkey-domestic footprint.
