ISF is a family-owned business which designs, manufactures, and installs processing machinery for the animal feed industry.

The animal feed industry is a critical cog in the British food supply chain. The processing machinery ISF develops, maintains, and upgrades allows British farmers and feed producers to maximise efficiency and minimise costs, which trickles down to the shopping basket of every household.

Founded by Iain Scott, ISF has more than 33 years of experience in bulk handling and materials processing manufacturing. It prides itself on employee development, supporting and making a difference to suppliers within the animal feed processing industry.

We pride ourselves on having a strong culture that encourages career development, innovation and creativity, a culture which has kept us at the forefront of our industry.

Environment

The wealth of knowledge and expertise we have collectively built up over the years is second to none. This combined with investment in innovative technology, and a culture which embraces change and opportunities for improvement, means we surpass our customers expectations at every step of the project.

We listen to our customers, colleagues and suppliers and work collaboratively to solve problems and ensure the most successful outcome. We are passionate about equal opportunities, and investing in our diverse and loyal workforce, and in turn they are passionate about their work. The health and safety of everyone we meet is always our number one priority.

We understand our customers and their production pressures. We listen, ask questions and challenge to ensure we always know exactly what they need. We never question if we can do it. Instead, we question how we are going to do it. We always go the extra mile to ensure we deliver within time, quality, and budget requirements.

We will never over promise or under deliver. We do what we say we will, when we said we would do it, communicating with our customers every step of the way. We are accountable: we understand our client’s commercial objectives and ensure we are delivering against them.

We ensure our work has the minimum possible impact on the environment. We use zero landfill waste carriers, and our commitment to continuous improvement means we are constantly striving to reduce our carbon footprint.
