Many in the milling and grain sector may be unaware that there is a significant new revenue stream available to progressive and forward-thinking mills. It focuses on the use of energy, and how by turning the power down for a relatively short period each year in line with National Grid’s and EirGrid’s requirements, companies can enjoy considerable and long-term financial rewards.

rain & Feed Milling Technology
magazine is keenly aware of the
rise of Turkey. In modern times,
especially since the start of the 21st century,
Turkey has become more and more
important to the region and beyond.
Turkey is a remarkable centre of milling
located in a region best called Eurasia. It
has a rich collection of people, cultures and
ambitions for milling across all sectors of
skills. Turkish manufacturing has been com-
monly viewed as secondary to the larger and
better known brands for reliability, quality
and trust can be found in Europe.
Development in the last decade
We know that the last 10 years have
been some of the most crucial in Turkeys
development. For example, Binali Yildririm,
Turkish minister of transport, maritime affairs
and communication, says, "before 2003, the
total length of divided roads in Turkey was
6,101 km and we increased this figure to
22,300 km".
As you may know, GFMT exhibited at
IDMA, Turkey's largest milling exhibition but
we also looked to hear about the markets,
developments and innovations from the
leading companies at this event and arrange
visits and meetings after the show.We hit the
road, 2,000 km of it in fact, to visit a range
of offices, factories and laboratories and saw
many mills, farms and grain cooperatives.
We met with leading Turkish organisations
in all these fields and even the TMO (Toprak
Mahsulleri Ofisi/Turkish government grain
board). TMO help by acting as a com-
pany that supports machinery manufacturers
domestic customers.
Throughout the time in Turkey, we heard
how Turkey has been a largely self-made
miracle from many sides of the industry.
Turkey is developing quickly and its grain
milling industry is a part of it. The OECD's
assessments backing up these viewpoints
are interesting, see www.oecd.org/turkey for
more information.
Core competences
The markets Turkish milling manufactur-
ers enter into are impressively diverse. In
order of importance customers are based
across the Middle East, North Africa, South
America, Central Asia, India and Europe.
In this spread of markets, many American
and European products are not as well
established as in their own domestic regions.
Turkish companies have recently stolen a
march in other milling markets like Iran but
we heard that recent international financial
sanctions on Iran have shelved projects
already.
Also, reports from the United Nations’
FAO show that Turkish purchase prices of
wheat, barley, rye and corn have all risen
recently. The price per tonne has increased
many times over since the last decade
compared to the figures ending in 2010. This
tallies with the large growth in the recent
decade whilst western economies have suf-
fered from the global financial crisis; Turkey’s
prices have expanded with the growth in
the market and its grain has become a more
costly commodity.
From our point of view, it comes down
to simple economics as well as a flex-
ible amount of collaboration in a com-
petitive market. The market has had to help
itself collectively as well as in competition.
Certain firms like Alapala will work with
firms like Obial for a mutual interest in dis-
tribution load and for serving customers in
a productive way. This style of competition
mixed with collaboration is effective for all.
There is seemingly no conflict of business
interests but both Obial and Alapala meet
a core value of meeting customers’ needs
too. There is trade to be done in Turkey but
exploring the exports together can be a real
team effort with plain success.
Eastern/Western
There are many more surprises about
Turkish milling manufacturing. Another is
that there are long-term investments taking
place for future growth. Genc Digirmen and
GDM of Konya have brand-new factories
and are planning further development to
meet large demands in the future. They
value these investments as tools that enable
their products to compete with the market
at large and suit customers needs better than
ever before.
Some companies in Turkey privately
acknowledge that they were influenced by
leading European companies in the past
but can now engineer new and effective
solutions for themselves. The emphasis on
research, development and customers has
rightly earned a top priority for all of the
largest manufacturers we spoke to. It comes
down the simple business practice that
Turkish firms want to earn loyalty themselves
and that their products will deliver.
A uniquely Turkish story?
Other factors relate to some Turkey-
specific background reasons. Costs are rela-
tively low for employment, raw materials and
transportation. The new road network, men-
tioned at the beginning of this article, has
improved links between factories, laborato-
ries and mills. Mersin is a southern Turkish
port that is used by milling manufacturers to
connect Turkey to the west and east from
a single port.

size and geography of Turkey matter to the

such as Istanbul and Ankara take the business
limelight for many other industries, and so it
turns to cities like Konya to be a magnetising
location for this industry.
TMO has a large grain storage facility
on the side of the highway as you enter
the outskirts of Konya that really strikes an
impressive chord. The industrial parks teem
with milling companies and model mills
where they test and experiment for all sorts
of purposes.
Some firms are still family owned in
Konya, which differs from the common
model of many similar western firms. Trends
have caught on quickly and Konyas millers
were seen by others in a growing market
and others joined. This means there is
healthy rivalry in this town but others are
playing a game of catch-up.
Konya has opened many doors for local
engineers, electricians, labourers and millers
to join forces. Skills such as trade labourers,
marketing and sales, project management
and degree qualifications from local universi-
ties in courses such as Food Engineering
have combined well in the industry. Konya
has drawn these people together like no
other city in Turkey. There is great activity
in the milling industry here and there were
genuinely inspiring moments, such as seeing
Molino’s scale model mill, archives and lus-
ciously green and tropical offices; the ancient
mosques and sights of Konya’s town centre
and the high levels of hospitality afforded to
us by the locals of Konya.
Conclusions
This feature aimed to have joined the
dots on the understated and quiet nature of
Turkey’s growth in milling. As any far-fetched
conclusion can be made for the future, it
may be simpler to be certain that we believe
at the next event, IDMA, Turkey will look
not just to the Middle East and Africa but
further afield. There will be firms looking to
embed themselves more fully into Europe
and competing with mills, laboratories and
factories in Europe and beyond. The great
number of advantages including TMO assist-
ance, boldness in business to sell milling
machinery to countries across the Middle
East, Africa, Russia and others where other
nations are less confident. Good technology
enables millers to become more effective
and better overall at their jobs. Customers
looking at Turkish products have a larger
amount of choice than ever before and this
is why we really believe that the future is
bright for Turkish milling.
Milling machines made by millers
On April 8, 2013, Eng Munir Yousif ElHakim, Islamic
DevelopmentCo.Ltd,SudanandMr.IsmailAlapala,
Alapala, Turkey met to finalise a business deal of 21
roller milling machines to be produced by Alapala
for the Islamic Development Co. Ltd.
The deal is part of a longer-term partnership
between the Khartoum-based flour miller and
the Corum-based manufacturer.
Eng Munir Yousif ElHakim said that Alapala are
one of the top three companies in this field in the
world making these kind of machines. He chose
Alapala because, "milling machines have to be made
by millers. If not, you cannot succeed".
“Alapala also have a good technical team for
the machinery upkeep and running," he added.
Staff will receive training for using these new
machines. Capacity is vital to his company as well
as the biggest flour miller in Sudan.
Ismail Alapala added that, "Alapala leads where
others follow with innovation and practicability.
Machinery has to be a holistic solution. Others
have no idea for spare parts whereas Alapala
produce their own machines with their own
supply chain."

DMA took place at Istanbul's
Expo Center across three
halls from April 4-7, 2013.
The organisers have reported
there were 8,052 visitors from
94 different countries and
236 exhibitors came together
over 21,000 square metres.
The exhibition had extra side
conferences, presentations and
meetings that were very well
attended. Grain & Feed Milling
Technology exhibited again at
this biannual event that really
is acknowledged as the premier
milling industry event in Turkey
and the region. Darren Parris
and Tom Blacker from the sales
department were excited to
participate, along with our event
helper, Selin, who had a native
level of Turkish which aided us
immensely with Turkish visitors
to our exhibition stand.
On the opening morning, we
sat behind the Turkish Grain
Board on the second row at the
opening reception with many
speeches bringing the corporate
nature of milling today to the
fore. The ribbon cutting exercise
was simultaneously completed
by around a dozen dignitaries
resulting in a moment of fun
with a severely severed red
ribbon. From this moment on,
IDMA had begun.
From the moment of arrival
the day before the event started
to the final moments, the atmos-
phere was sociable, upbeat and
exciting. We were glad that our
stand was in the coolest hall away
from the heat! Other exhibitors
came from far and wide but the
heart of the event was proudly
Turkish. We enjoyed hearing
about the aims, hopes and con-
cerns of local companies exhibit-
ing and discussing our magazine
whether they were regular read-
ers, writers or advertisers. Some
stands were large and impressive

IDMA Event Review
A showcase for the Turkish industry on the international stage
Molino
Molino's historical
beginnings
Molino's amazing beginnings
started with a 10 franc note
in France in 1981. Dr Omer,
then operating independently,
met a buyer for a self-
invented, designed
and manufactured
milling machine called
'Valex'. This mill-
ing machine is still a
product of Molino's
and he requested to
place an order. Dr
Omer did not have
an order form or any
official documentation and,
acting on impulse, produced
a 10 franc note. This was
signed by the customer to
seal the deal.
A year later, another order
for more Valex machines from
the same customer resulted in
another signature on a bank
note but this time it was a
formality. A larger order fol-
lowed and from this moment
on Dr Omer was sure of the
success of Valex.
He now is president of
Molino and is based back
in Turkey. He has taught in
academia and been a real
father of the Turkish milling
industry. At IDMA Molino’s
large stand showed the
progress Molino have made
since these first orders for
Valex in 1981.

7. Molino were especially dominant in size and
Alapala were exhibiting in two out of the
three halls!
The most interesting comments about
the show were about how focused on milling
it has stayed but also how international it has
become over the last few years. International
companies are exhibiting in Turkey to boost
their presence in this newer market. Turkish
companies are expanding from a domestic
market and we know several companies
exhibiting at IDMA were due to exhibit the
following week at a grain event in Ukraine.
We saw a difference with IDMA compared
to other exhibitions in the new exhibitors who
came to IDMA for the first time from across
Turkey to gain customers. The established com-
panies were gaining repeat custom and would
often serve copious amounts of Turkish tea and
coffee to all customers wishing to meet in the
large stands that were like small buildings with
different floors and rooms constructed within.
The other great feature of IDMA was
the array of machinery, feed products and
amount of information many of the exhibi-
tors had brought with them. There were
many colours of course in each hall but we
noticed a certain turquoise colour dominant
amongst all companies. We all know it
began with Bühler, but does this now mean
that the industry standard colour for milling
machines is a bright turquoise, like construc-
tion industry vehicles, which are painted in a
standard yellow?
IDMA was a well-run
event which went quickly
considering it was four days
long - Saturday seemed the
longest and busiest day but
we enjoyed meeting a wide
variety of people, their lan-
guages (German, Russian
and French were adopted
to complement English with
some exhibitors). If you
were there, we hope you
took one of the thousands
of copies of our publications
and had a successful show
as well.
You can also take a look
at our photos on the GFMT
Facebook page.
Bühler
The talk of IDMA
It was no secret that Buhler had
arrived! From the moment the
shell of their stand was erected
over 338 square metres of exhi-
bition hall space and the security
guards took up their positions,
it was as if this was The Return
of the King.
Often referred to as the King of
Innovation, the Buhler Group is
proud of its innovative heritage
and as such, likes to keep the
inner workings of their leading
technology secret. Hence the
24-hour security presence.
Marcus Aurilious in 1708 said,
“Imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery” and never was there
a more apt statement to sum up
the effect Buhler has had on the
milling industry in Turkey. So much
so that no one is ashamed to
admit they have taken ideas from
Buhler. Although 20 years on, the
Turkish industry is starting to inno-
vate and develop and research in
their own right. Their quality and
technology has improved which
has only raised the standards yet
further of Buhler's equipment, if
ever that was possible.
Staying ahead of innovation is
what keeps the Buhler Group at
the top of innovation in milling.
With leading technology such as
50 percent energy savings over
comparable machines in its Vega
Performance Grain Classifier, and
their Antares Roller Mill providing
100 percent product safety and
state of the art service manage-
ment systems with WinCos Care,
Buhler is truly Innovating for a
better world.
IDMA welcomed
Buhler with open
arms and as if to
honour its arrival
many paid tribute by
using the distinctive
Buhler colours to
decorate their own
stands and machines.
All joking aside
Buhler rolled out an
awesome display of
quality machinery.
With global stand-
ards recognising
their reliability, highest sanitation
standards for guaranteed product
safety, superior design, maximum
capacity for high product require-
ments, high system availability and
high flow rate, it was no great
surprise that Buhler were the talk
of this year's show.
In the current global economic
downturn, no better message can
be sent to an industry than sav-
ing money through energy saving
applications. Buhler offers new
ways of improving energy effi-
ciency – without replacing existing
machinery. In three simple steps,
