Our company
Who we are and what we do
We are Lely: a global leader in dairy farming solutions. We focus on innovation that benefits farmers, society, and the planet.
Ever since our beginnings, in 1948, our founding fathers, brothers Cornelis and Arij van der Lely, had only one goal: making farmers’ lives easier through innovation.
At Lely, we’re not just keeping up with developments: we aim to lead the way. We do so through our strategy called Impact30.
As a family-owned business, we see it as our responsibility to contribute to a more inclusive, educated and inspired society - both locally and globally.
