TAVSAN
Beginning in 1975 in a small 60-square-meter workshop and growing into an industrial powerhouse that today manufactures its equipment in modern facilities spanning 30,000 square meters and exports to more than 60 countries, Tavsan’s story now spans over 50 years.
With goal-focused steps from its founding to the present day, Tavsan has achieved milestones and pioneered many firsts; alongside its own brand, it has carried the Turkish poultry equipment sector into the world league.
PRODUCTION WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
With its head office, sales-marketing and foreign trade departments based in Istanbul, Tavsan shapes the industry through the wide product range it manufactures using advanced technology at its facilities in the Sakarya 2nd Organized Industrial Zone—built and equipped with modern technology across a 30,000-square-meter area—while carrying out its storage and shipping operations entirely through digital systems. All equipment is designed and shaped in the Tavsan R&D department according to the needs of the sector.
To meet the needs of all poultry, the company produces feeding, watering, heating, ventilation, cooling and lighting systems, feed silos, feed conveying systems, automatic nest systems, layer hen cage systems, and digital and computerized control systems.
The installation, support and turnkey poultry house services that are indispensable after the sale are handled by the Tavsan Technical Service Department.
With 11 domestic dealers, 2 sales points, 16 international dealers and 6 international representative offices, it sells in over 60 countries and provides 24/7 technical service.
CEO Hilmi Bilgin: INNOVATIONS MARKING THE 50TH YEAR
Having begun its journey with a single person, Tavsan has today become a large family with its wide product range and a team of professionals who are experts in their respective fields. It is led by CEO Hilmi Bilgin. Founder Cemalettin Bilgin, together with the R&D team, sets new targets and develops new products. As the company completes its 50th year and moves toward its 100th, CEO Hilmi Bilgin describes the new goals:
“From the day we were founded, we set out to add value to the sector and, with our efficiency-focused production approach, to become a global brand. Under the leadership of our founder and Chairman of the Board Cemalettin Bilgin, we continue our efforts toward continuous improvement and development.
When I took office, Tavsan had completed its development stages and had caught up with the world’s technology in production. With the awareness of being a global brand, in line with customer expectations, we focused on new targets without ever compromising our policy of “Quality product, quality service, continuous improvement.”
Along with global branding, obtaining production and product quality certifications and bringing digital advancements to every area of our company were our first steps. To monitor performance in production, collect data, and make improvements using the data we gather, we deployed digital technologies and launched our digital transformation process.
SUSTAINABLE, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROJECTS
As Tavsan, in order to protect our planet and leave a greener, more livable world for future generations, we embrace the principles of sustainability in every respect. With our innovative and environmentally friendly products, we prioritize water and energy savings and carry out rigorous work to reduce our carbon footprint. Because we believe that a sustainable future is possible through solid steps taken today. For this reason, we switched to generating electricity using solar energy at our production facilities. With our rooftop solar power plant, we gained access to environmentally friendly, clean energy and reduced our carbon footprint.
OUR NEW PRODUCTS
As always, we have developed new products, and with our 50th year we are putting them into service and bringing them to the sector. This year’s new equipment includes the “Aviary Cage,” the “Flat Top XL Nest” and “XL Nest” nest systems, and a new type of “Rooster Feeding.” In addition, the Broiler Cage system, which we exhibited for the first time at the previous VIV Turkey fair, was used at our R&D farm Koza, its efficiency was observed, and order intake has begun. Likewise, our “Geared Tunnel Air Inlet” equipment, which was exhibited at the same fair and drew interest with its long service life as well as its cost advantage, is actively in use and we are installing it for our customers. Among the innovations of this period, we can also count our purchases of new motors and new processors from the well-established Dutch company Hotraco.
As we leave half a century behind, with our ever-growing ambition, our expanding production capacity, our new-generation technology and our sustainable, eco-friendly investments, we produce to world standards and serve every part of Turkey and 60 countries across 5 continents.
