At the 2022 expo, held at Istanbul Lütfi Kırdar Congress Center between May 19 and 22, 2022, Alapala was awarded the “Milling Machinery Producer of the Year” at the “Milling Awards” ceremony for its recent development “Next Generation Milling Systems”.

The system “enables machines to operate independently and error-free without any human interaction,” Alapala said.

The company also said the system “provides high reliability, process optimization, energy efficiency, consistent quality and little need for human intervention all together in the grain milling process.”

Alapala CEO, Mr Görkem Alapala has attended to the conference, and Alapala R&D Manager, Mr Sezai Aydın also made a presentation to introduce system to the attendees.

In 2021 Alapala delivered 24 turnkey projects in 16 countries as well as numerous machinery exports to different parts of the world in 2021. Some of turnkey project highlights from the year were completed in Angola, Bangladesh, UAE, Ecuador, and India.
