About
Alok’s Poultry Technology Pvt Ltd
APTEC is the more familiar name of Alok’s Poultry Technology Pvt Ltd, a family-owned company registered under the Companies Act of India in 2009. The company’s incorporation makes it easier for us to share with the industry our experience in the field of poultry processing, acquired over the past decade and experience in industrial project planning and management acquired over three decades.
In 1998 Alok Raj, one of the promoters entered into an agreement with Meyn Food Processing Technology, B. V. Oostzaan, The Netherlands, then already a world-renowned source of machinery and technology in the field of poultry processing, to sell, install and service poultry processing machinery and to provide free project planning services to the emerging poultry processing industry in India.
Over the years Meyn emerged as the most successful and preferred source for the industry in general in India, and happy with the results of consulting services to ensure comprehensive help to its clientele, Meyn requested Alok to extend the same facilities to its representative offices in Bangladesh and Pakistan for its customers and those of its subsidiary Systemate Numafa.
With the incorporation of this company, it is now possible for us to enlarge our manpower as needed and to undertake certain activities like Annual Maintenance Contracts, installation and commissioning services and turnkey execution of projects with full compliance with statutory and legal obligations. This also enables us to diversify into synergistic areas within the broader realm of the poultry industry and beyond.
