Yilmaz radish stands for big volumes of radish at a rapid pace. In this way the company is able to market a healthy and tasty product competitively. Automation is essential to enable the growth of Yilmaz Radish.
 
The building at ABC Westland in Poeldijk (Netherlands) will be completely converted into the new distribution center and office of Yilmaz Radijs. The expansion from 2700m² to 6400m² of production space creates a modern location where all radish, both loose and bunched, is processed centrally.
In collaboration with Koppert Machines, the design, new machines and water and waste systems were considered.
The challenges solved in the design of this project:
  • Creating processing capacity to process 30 hectares of radishes and be able to handle future growth
  • To provide employees with enjoyable work by creating the most ergonomic and safe workplaces
  • Supply of boxes with an integrated conveyor system, in order to be able to arrange the floorplan and logistics as efficiently as possible
  • Discharge of leaves and other drainage streams, while the water is collected and recycled.
  • All this with a tight schedule that must be realized before the end of January 2026.
Zülkuf Yilmaz: "We are very happy with all the parties who have contributed to the design of this beautiful project. Everything has been thought of: hygiene, safety, ergonomics, efficient production and room layout. Koppert machines played an important role in this. With top-quality machines, expertise and flexibility, Koppert Machines has given our growth an extra boost. We therefore have every confidence in the realization of this new project."
