This St. Patrick’s Day marks 71 years in business for FEECO International. 

Founded in 1951, FEECO started out as an equipment and engineering company in the fertilizer industry. 

Soon after FEECO was founded, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) came out with the modern granulation process. Fertilizer producers looked to us for help in converting their plants to the new technology, leading FEECO to become an expert in every aspect of the fertilizer production process: granulation, drying, and handling, as well as how these components connect to form a seamless production line. 

This expertise in granulating, drying, and handling bulk solids was quickly sought out by plant managers outside of the fertilizer industry, working in: 

  • Mining & Minerals
  • Forest Products
  • Power Generation
  • Fertilizer & Animal Feed
  • Chemicals
  • Waste Transformation

Today, we continue to remain the go-to resource for fertilizer production equipment and process development services, but have expanded to serve nearly every industry working with bulk solids.

FEECO has become a global leader in process development and optimization, custom equipment manufacturing, and comprehensive parts and service support, but we couldn’t have done it without a dedicated team of employees and customers committed to excellence. 

We are thankful for each and every employee and every single customer and we are looking forward to many more years of bringing the best in bulk solids processing equipment and services to build the technologies of tomorrow.
