Imas produces grain and feed milling machinery and builds turnkey projects worldwide. It was first recognized in 2023 as an export leader, driven by its machine exports to numerous countries in mainly Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Europe, the Far East, Russia, and CIS regions.
Based on its 2024 total export volume in grain processing machinery (classified under HS Code 8437.80) and feed milling machinery (classified under HS Code 8436.10), the company again achieved “Export Leader of Turkey” in milling technologies.
Imas also has been listed among the Top 250 R&D leaders of Turkey since 2015 and moreover among Top 10 R&D leaders of Turkish machinery industry in all segments, based on the list of R&D expenditures of companies released by Turkishtime.
“Having the export leadership of Turkey in our industry for the second year is a great happiness for us,” said Mustafa Ozdemir, general manager of Imas Machinery and member of the board of directors at Loras Holding. “This success was made possible by our highly experienced team, long-term global partnerships, and the trust we instill in our customers. It is also significant proof of our continuous growth over 35 years.
“With this motivation, I firmly believe we will undertake initiatives to bring new values for our industry in the future. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire Imas team, as well as our global customers and esteemed business partners, for their valuable contributions to our achievement.”
Manufacturing machinery and also serving as a turnkey solution partner, Imas completed around 20 milling projects worldwide in 2024. In addition, the company currently has 40 ongoing projects worldwide in its existing project inventory.
Grain milling projects (including flour, semolina and corn flour) completed by Imas in the last year primarily were located in Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, while the company also completed feed milling projects mainly operated in Middle East, West Africa, and certain CIS countries.
Additionally, Imas currently has 11 ongoing medium and large-scale grain milling projects (300-720 tpd), and more than 15 ongoing medium and large capacity (5-30 tph) feed milling projects in different parts of the world.
