The history of Veenhuis Machines dates back to 1938.
In that year Theo Veenhuis, residing at Almelosestraat in Raalte, started a smithy.
The activities comprised traditional forging activities such as shoeing.
Soon, the company answered the demand for new slurry application systems following the introduction of the walk stable in the cattle industry.
Since that time the yellow tanks of Veenhuis Machines have played an important role in Dutch agriculture.
More stringent rules with respect to slurry application resulted in advanced slurry systems that could apply the slurry directly into or on to the soil.
Parallel developments at Veenhuis Machines led to the development of silage wagons to be used for harvesting grass and maize.
High capacity, good distribution on the pit, a long life and quick unloading time up to the present day are the distinguishing features of Veenhuis silage wagons.
Progress in technology, combined with continuing increased scale in agriculture meant that Veenhuis Machines has concentrated mainly on the contracting world.
In the past few years, Veenhuis Machines has also put itself at the forefront in soil, road and water construction, and the market for composting and recycling with sludge-gulpers, mobile and transportable weighing systems.
Time gain, reliability and continuity of service form the unique selling points.
