Meet the Milling Trade Team
In the last ten years Milling Trade has provided solutions for many flour mills across the world, having started as an offshoot of our sister company BranScan ten years ago by our fearless leader Aytun, we have become experts in not just providing solutions for flour mills, but also for various industries.
Our small, but talented team has a simple remit; provide the best possible equipment at affordable prices.
Over the years we have built up a reputation for being able to supply high quality, well designed, brilliantly crafted equipment to the flour milling trade. We succeeded in building a truly amazing global network of customers, and suppliers.
In Memory of Aytun Erdentug –
Our Founder and Guiding Light.
Originally from Turkey, Aytun was the visionary behind both BranScan and Milling Trade. With a remarkable career in the printing industry, he brought his expertise, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit to the milling world over two decades ago.
He founded BranScan to supply lab equipment technology and parts to the global milling industry. Ten years later he established Milling Trade as a focused extension – dedicated to serving the milling industry with high-quality parts and equipment.
Aytun was more than our founder. He was a mentor, a leader, and the steady voice of wisdom in a constantly evolving marketplace. His talent, dedication, and unwavering belief in excellence laid the foundation for everything we do today.
Although he passed away, his legacy continues to guide us every day. We are proud to carry forward his vision with the same passion, integrity, and commitment to quality that he championed. We owe much of our success to Aytun – and we honour him by building on the company he so passionately created.
