A sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future for dairy farmers through the combination of robotics, engineering, and farming expertise. That's what we believe in.
It all started more than 75 years ago with the dream of two brothers in Maassluis. Since then, we have become a leading innovator in automated systems for dairy farmers around the world. With over 2,500 specialized professionals, we continuously work on the next agricultural revolutions.
While we still operate from our Campus in Maassluis, home to one of the most sustainable office buildings in the Netherlands, our impact extends far beyond. Together, we are committed to making dairy farming an attractive and viable profession for future generations.
