Company Description
- ------------------

We believe in a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future for dairy farmers, made possible by combining robotics, technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of dairy farming.

This vision began more than 75 years ago with the dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have grown into an innovative market leader in automated systems for dairy farmers around the world. Today, 2,500 dedicated professionals work together to drive continuous innovation in agriculture.

We are still headquartered at our Campus in Maassluis, one of the most sustainable business locations in the Netherlands, while operating on a global scale. Our goal remains the same: to make dairy farming an attractive and sustainable profession for generations to come.
