We offer solutions for nearly all activities on a dairy farm: from milking and feeding, to caring and cleaning. We provide advice on how to intelligently organize a dairy farm with the use of smart management systems. Our vision, along with the needs and demands of our clients are what drive and inspire us.
Over 75 years of farming innovation. In 1948, brothers Cornelis and Arij van der Lely introduced the finger wheel rake to the market, one of our first inventions that made a substantial change in the traditional way of working on the farm. There were many more innovations through the years, designed with one purpose in mind: making life easier and working together for a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming.
