This order is a significant step in ANDRITZ’s expansion in the feed industry in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.
The new feed plant will be located in Riyadh Province and is scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2026. Designed for a total capacity of 90 tons per hour (TPH), the facility will include two production lines for poultry feed (60 TPH) and one for ruminant feed (30 TPH).
ANDRITZ will supply the complete process lines – from raw material intake to finished product – including key machinery such as hammer mills, mixers, pellet mills, and crumblers, with major components coming from manufacturing facilities in Europe. The order also includes installation supervision, commissioning, and local after-sales support by ANDRITZ. With ANDRITZ’s advanced technology, the plant will offer high efficiency and flexibility as well as robust process control – all tailored to provide high-performance animal feed solutions for the Saudi market.
Established in 1975, Alwadi Poultry Farms Company is one of the leading poultry producers in Saudi Arabia, with integrated operations spanning chicken breeding, hatcheries, feed production, and poultry processing.

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with ANDRITZ in the field of feed mills and congratulate them on securing this contract with one of the largest and oldest poultry companies in the Saudi market. When the idea of establishing a new feed mill for Alwadi Company was conceived, a working team was formed consisting of the Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Technical Departments to study the price offers. After a thorough analysis, the team recommended choosing ANDRITZ for its quality, ease of maintenance, and outstanding technical presentation of the project.”
