We would like to invite you to visit Frans Vervaet in Biervliet on 17 April.

This family business developed already in 1974 the first self-propelled single-stage bunker harvester for sugar beet and introduced in 1990 the first self-propelled Hydro Trike for low-emission slurry injection.

After gaining market leadership in the Netherlands, Vervaet decided to continue growing in export markets such as England, Belgium, France, Sweden and Denmark. Today, with over 180 employees, Vervaet develops and produces advanced high-tech self-propelled machines for harvesting sugar beet, chicory, fodder beet and celeriac and for the application of slurry, solid manure, chicken manure, compost, digestate, vinasse and lime, among others.

Today, the third generation is in the business and the factory site covers 50,000 m2. With the constant adaptation of environmental standards and the drive to improve efficiency in agriculture, developments do not stand still. Vervaet spends almost 10% of turnover on research and development (R&D) and produces between 75 and 100 new self-propelled harvesters every year.
