Our Backstory

From the 1950s onward we started exploring the world, looking for new markets. In 1954 East-Africa was chosen as the new production site. In the years following we broadened our distribution channels to export to countries outside of Europe, in particular countries in the Middle East and Africa.  In the early 2000’s we’ve fully expanded into the Middle East by opening a sales office in the region, which was turned into a breeding and trial station in a later stage

Over the years we’ve successfully penetrated hard-to-reach informal markets in the Middle East and Sub-Sahara Africa. We’ve opened offices and stations in these regions to serve and understand the local market even better.
