Company profile

A sustainable, profitable and pleasant future for a dairy farmer by combining robotization, engineering and farmer knowledge. We believe in that.

That started 75 years ago with a dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have been an innovative leader in automated systems for dairy farmers around the world. With 2.300 specialized professionals, we are constantly working on new agricultural revolutions. We do this from our Campus in Maassluis, but also from other international offices. Together we have the goal: to make dairy farming interesting for the next generation.
