Since 1938, Big Dutchman has been designing and realising feeding systems and housing facilities for modern pig and poultry farming - and more recently also for insect breeding and greenhouse construction. We offer practical and forward-looking solutions that are economically and ecologically viable. Our products help with the economical production of protein-rich foods; we want our customers to be successful. And to be profitable, automation and cost-conscious management are the key prerequisites. Big Dutchman is recognised as the market leader in the industry: on five continents in more than 100 countries, our name stands for consistent quality, fast service and unrivalled expertise. Because innovations from our company have always had a significant influence on modern animal husbandry technology. We are working to ensure that it stays that way.
