(PRESS RELEASE) GRAZ, 16-Apr-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — International technology group ANDRITZ has been selected by Alwadi Poultry Farms Company, one of Saudi Arabia’s oldest and most respected poultry producers, to supply a high-capacity feed mill in Riyadh Province.

This new facility aligns with the company’s strategy to increase feed quality, strengthen market position, and support national food security objectives under Saudi Vision 2030.
