The Growing Pressures on Dutch Dairy Farmers
In the Netherlands, where dairy farming today faces tough realities, change is no longer optional — it’s necessary. Farmonie FarmTech, staffed almost entirely by people with agricultural backgrounds, truly understands what’s at stake.
Clemens Brus, founder of Farmonie FarmTech, points out that “the costs are really high, and evey dairy farmer has to grow, milk more cows, and labor is very challenging.” Herman Brus, Managing Director at Farmonie FarmTech, adds that farmers also struggle with complex issues: government regulations, environmental concerns, animal welfare, and even mental health.

To help farmers tackle these challenges, Farmonie FarmTech has embraced advanced smart technologies. This commitment aligns perfectly with Sveaverken’s mission to deliver quality products at fair prices, forging a partnership built on shared values and vision.
How Sveaverken Keeps Feed Flowing and Labor Down
Clemens first saw Sveaverken’s feed pusher robots in action and immediately recognized their value for dairy farms. By keeping feed constantly available, especially during the overnight hours, Nimbo helps improve cow comfort and productivity without adding to farmers’ workload. He highlights, "It's just a small step that can make a big difference on the farm."Herman adds that beyond the technology, Nimbo frees farmers to focus on improving their farm’s results. With 3D LiDAR and smart vision sensors, Nimbo navigates precisely and safely—even in tight barns and on steep slopes. Its long battery life and remote monitoring mean farmers can trust it to keep feed pushing running smoothly without constant oversight.
Real Impact on the Farm: Van den Brink Family Farm’s Success with Nimbo
At Van den Brink Family Farm, which raises both pigs and cows, with around 75 dairy cows producing an average of 10,000 liters of milk annually, the daily challenge of timely feed delivery was a constant concern.

Since installing Nimbo, the farm has experienced a significant improvement. Nimbo pushes feed every hour, ensuring that cows always have fresh feed available. The system is easy to operate via smartphone and quick to install. "Certainly the feed is pushed more often," the farmer said, " and when there's always feed available, it's better for hoof health, I think it's all benefits." Sveaverken has helped many farms like Van den Brink maintain consistent feeding routines, improving both animal well-being and operational productivity.
A Trusted Partnership Rooted in Shared Commitment
For Farmonie FarmTech, product quality and dependable after-sales service are fundamental, which makes Sveaverken an ideal partner for them. Clemens adds that Sveaverken continually strives to "push to the limits of what's possible and solve problems for the farmers". Sveaverken's responsiveness and willingness to quickly resolve issues help build strong trust with customers, which is crucial for long-term success.
