We all need farmers to meet the increasing demand for food. The world is changing rapidly and the population continues to grow. And this food needs to be produced in a sustainable manner, with good profitability and enjoyment for the farmers.
They deserve a bright future in which they can succeed. A bright future in which they can make their own choices to realise their dreams. It’s our mission to create innovative solutions to help farmers excel in sustainable milk production to feed the world.
As an international family business in the agricultural sector, we spend every day making farmers’ lives easier. We offer innovative solutions for almost all activities in the dairy unit: from milking to cleaning. We provide advice on how to organise a dairy farm smartly with the use of management systems.
This is something we’ve done since 1948. That’s the year brothers Cornelis and Arij van der Lely introduced the finger-wheel rake to the market – one of our first inventions to make a substantial change to the traditional way of working on the farm. There were many more innovations with only one purpose: making agricultural life easier and working together for a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming.
With our unique distribution network, we have access to at least 70% of professional dairy farmers around the globe and offer them advice, maintenance and sales.
Lely is striving for a pleasant, sustainable and profitable future for dairy farming.
Step into the future and see what it looks like.

Although it wasn’t always easy, we are very proud of the commitment and dedication of our employees and Lely Centers. Together, we managed to continue supplying farmers with our innovative solutions and services. We would like to thank the farmers, in particular, for showing faith in Lely. We feel privileged to work in a sector with farmers, who play a crucial role in feeding the world, producing high quality, safe and affordable dairy products.
Our customers’ appreciation of Lely’s products and our Lely Center service also increased in 2020. And, as a result, our product leadership combined with unrivalled service levels at our Lely Centers, continue to attract more and more customers.'
