In the picturesque landscape of Swiss agriculture, where farm workloads are constantly increasing, a solution was needed — one that would not only ease the burden on farmers but also enhance the well-being of their livestock. This is the story of how Alfred Weber, founder of MATCOM AG, partnered with Sveaverken to bring the innovative Sveaverken Nimbo X feed pusher to Switzerland, and how this partnership is transforming the daily routines of farmers like Markus Ullmann and Thomas Plühr.
Premium Equipment, Fair Price, Unmatched Service
Alfred Weber established MATCOM AG with a clear mission: to provide Swiss farmers with premium agricultural machinery at a fair price. Starting with direct imports of renowned brands like John Deere, Alfred's vision expanded. He discovered Sveaverken's autonomous feed pushers and saw their potential to solve a critical challenge on dairy farms. For Alfred, selling a premium product was only half the battle.
"We attach great importance to offering our customers premium products," Alfred explains, "But even more important is to offer our customers excellent service." With this principle, MATCOM AG built a robust support system — a dedicated workshop, skilled technicians, and a fast-acting spare parts service — ensuring that farmers are supported quickly and reliably long after their purchase.
A Reliable Partner in a New Barn
Our story takes us to Markus Ullmann's mixed dairy and arable farm in Bonau. In April 2025, Markus moved in with his 30 dairy cows to a beautiful new barn. When MATCOM AG recommended the Sveaverken Nimbo X, Markus was initially hesitant. "I didn't really want to at first," he admits with a smile, "but the distributor just kept insisting. And then I let myself be persuaded a little, but now I don't regret it at all. I'm very glad I put it in."
The transformation in his daily routine was immediate. "I put forage in the morning, and then feeding is basically done for me," Markus says. The Nimbo X takes over, pushing feed at programmed intervals throughout the day. This robot not only saves him from daily labor but, more importantly, gives him mental freedom. "I don't have to think about it anymore. I can do other work like threshing or anything, and Nimbo X just does its job, reliable and independent." With Nimbo X pushing feed more often, cows are stimulated to move and eat more frequently. Knowing there’s always fresh feed available keeps the herd calm and the barn more peaceful.
When asked about the robot’s performance and app control, Markus doesn’t hesitate: "Absolutely satisfied. It's actually very simple... it works really smoothly." His final verdict? He would "very much" recommend the Nimbo X to his farmer friends, calling it a "very nice robot."
A Year of Proven Performance and Peace
A short drive away, we meet Thomas Plühr, and his team are busy fertilizing the fields, who has been using Nimbo feed pusher for over a year on his mixed farm with 70 dairy cows. Thomas was searching for a simple, effective solution. "We were looking for a simple product that does a good job," he recalls. They discovered the then-new Sveaverken brand, tested it, and were convinced.
Thomas sees multiple advantages. The machine is "simple in design and works well." App control is a significant advantage, as every worker on the farm can operate it from their own phone. He highlights the robust support system Alfred built: if an issue arises, the manufacturer can access the machine remotely to reprogram it, a feature Thomas finds "easy and functional."
The impact on his farm's operations is profound. Before Nimbo, they used a forklift to push feed, which didn't happen at night or on Sundays. "The cows have to eat," Thomas emphasizes, "and that's a huge advantage that cows always have a steady supply of feed." This consistency has led to increased feed intake and a noticeable rise in milk yield. Furthermore, they've saved significantly on diesel and time.
A Story of Mutual Success
The journey of MATCOM AG and Sveaverken in Switzerland is more than just a business transaction; it's a story of building trust and delivering tangible value. For Alfred, it's the fulfillment of a promise to support farmers with the latest technology and unwavering service. For farmers like Markus and Thomas, the Nimbo X is not just a machine; it is a reliable partner that gives them the precious gifts of time, peace of mind, and a more productive, contented herd.
