KVERNELAND GROUP MECHATRONICS
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
WHO ARE WE
Kverneland Group Mechatronics BV is located in Nieuw-Vennep (The Netherlands). The company develops and manufactures advanced control systems for agricultural equipment. Our hardware and software make machinery easier to connect, operate, control and monitor. This enables precision farming that contributes to lower costs, less use of raw materials, easier work and higher yields. Therefore it ensures a lower environmental impact and a higher profitability for the users.
THE ORIGINS
Already in the early 1980’s, Kverneland Group Mechatronics, then named Vicon, realised that automation would become an essential part of the future of agricultural machines. In 1983 an electronics department was introduced in the company, with the job to develop the next generation agricultural equipment. A few years later, we were the first to realise a baler and fertilizer spreader with a microcontroller, the first of a wave of innovations and thousands of machines.
A SUCCESS STORY
By the year 2001 the developments were that successful that Kverneland Group decided to establish a new company, fully dedicated to the use of electronics in Agriculture. That year, Kverneland Group Mechatronics was born. Nearly forty years after the first electronically controlled machines, we offer a range of hundreds of products and grew from a small group of engineers to a business unit with over 80 employees.
