2016 – an exceptional year
2016 was the company's 20th year in existence. A great milestone and a good time to take a look back over what we had achieved. In recent years we have grown to become a company which employs 60 people, we undertake projects in more than 80 countries and have 8,000m2 of storage space with over 2,000 machines on stock. Partly due to our strong international growth we have decided to take the opportunity of our anniversary year in 2016 to change the company name to Lekkerkerker Dairy & Food Equipment. This name change and a change of logo are better suited to the path the business is following. Lekkerkerker Dairy & Food Equipment forms part of the Lekkerkerker Group (www.lekkerkerkergroup.com), which also includes 2 dairy production companies. The shared expertise makes the group: “A strong team in dairy”. In the meantime founder Kees Lekkerkerker had transferred the daily management of the machine division to his son Niels Lekkerkerker, who becomes director and co-owner with effect from 2016s. Along with his sister, Mariska Lekkerkerker, they head up the Lekkerkerker Group.
Through its knowledge and craftsmanship, Lekkerkerker Dairy & Food Equipment has proved over the last 20 years that good quality used processing and packaging machines can be redeployed as if they are new. There is a large stock of machines and items which are modified on a daily basis and which can be viewed online. Alongside the machines, the hardware, process information and guidance for various products is also a service which is provided. Depending upon the customer's needs, everything can be provided, from stand-alone machines through to complete lines, including installation, commissioning and training, at home and abroad. Every project is tailored to the customer's requirements.
