Company Profile

Ottevanger, operating as one unified brand from the Netherlands, is a core name in the diervoeder technology sector. The company traces its roots to 1909, combining Dutch craftsmanship with forward-looking innovation to deliver equipment and turnkey solutions for feed factories. Today, Ottevanger represents the integration of multiple legacy brands—Almex, Inteqnion, IVS, and PTN—into a single organization that provides a comprehensive suite of processing technologies. The centerpiece of Ottevanger’s offering is its extrusion and conditioning capability, with a portfolio that includes single-screw extruders and Contivar expanders designed for petfood, aquafeed, diervoeder, and grain processing. The company emphasizes a design philosophy built on reliability and long-term performance, underpinned by a strong focus on collaboration with customers to tailor solutions to their specific production goals. Ottevanger positions itself as more than a supplier of machinery; it markets itself as a partner in the design, construction, and optimization of feed facilities, supporting customers from initial concept through installation and ongoing service. With more than 300 colleagues spanning engineering, production, installation, project management, service, and commissioning on site, Ottevanger maintains a hands-on approach to project execution and customer support. The organization maintains a global footprint and a multi-disciplinary capability set, enabling it to provide end-to-end processing solutions that address the needs of diervoeder, aquafeed, and petfood production as well as related grain processing applications. The company highlights its emphasis on curiosity-driven, question-led engagement with clients, seeking to understand long-term growth plans, challenges, and the optimal pathways to achieve sustained improvement in production efficiency and product quality. As a consolidated entity, Ottevanger aims to deliver comprehensive, one-stop solutions—from initial concept and engineering through to build, optimization, and on-site service—under a single name and unified point of contact. The firm promotes a deep culture of expertise, innovation, and responsibility, grounded in the Dutch tradition of craftsmanship, and is focused on shaping the future of feed technology through collaborative partnerships and continuous technical advancement. Ottevanger’s market reach spans multiple regions via a network of regional contacts and offices, enabling it to serve customers worldwide and to support global supply chains in animal nutrition, aquaculture, and related processing sectors. Looking ahead, the organization emphasizes ongoing investment in extrusion, automation, dosing, and pellet technology to sustain leadership in high-performance feed processing equipment while expanding its integrated service offerings and customer support infrastructure.
