Profitable agriculture

LEMKEN is recognised worldwide as a visionary and sustainable company that makes an important contribution to profitable agriculture. For 244 years, the medium-sized family business has been applying its knowledge and passion for progress and providing solutions for the agricultural challenges of today and tomorrow. Farmers around the world rely on the comprehensive range of ploughs. Stubble cultivation machines cover all requirements from deep to ultra-shallow work. Seedbed combinations prepare for sowing, where LEMKEN technology sets standards in precise seed placement. Fertiliser spreaders stand for maximum distribution accuracy. LEMKEN plays a pioneering role in mechanical weed control with intelligent camera concepts for automatic machine guidance and individual plant recognition. Smart solutions for agricultural data management round off the product range. Since 2023, the South African company Equalizer has been part of the LEMKEN Group, whose no-till seed drills and single-row precision seed drills with large working widths enable the development of new markets.

The informal atmosphere of the Seedhouse and the pleasant interaction between all those involved form a fertile breeding ground for new, creative ideas. This gives rise to innovations in this wonderful place that drive the agricultural sector forward.

More about Lemken

In which areas are innovations particularly relevant for us?

We are particularly interested in agricultural processes, their networking and digitalisation.

This is what we hope to achieve by working with start-ups:

Together with start-ups, we can generate new ideas and open up additional fields of activity. They also enable us to develop innovations outside of the standard development processes in our company.

What opportunities do start-ups have to cooperate with us?

You can work in an advisory capacity, but also develop complementary technologies for our products that expand the application possibilities of our portfolio.

How can start-ups benefit from working with us?

We have been distributing our product portfolio in numerous markets worldwide for many years. Start-ups can also benefit from this wealth of experience. We also offer a dialogue at eye level with the specialist departments of our company.
