Innovative solutions for dairy farming

Today, Lely presents its annual results for 2025. Innovative products and services, combined with high customer satisfaction have led to sales of €1,014 million (2024: €857 million).  

The growth of 18% was furthermore driven by a positive market environment with strong average milk prices, and robust demand. Lely’s robots and data clearly add value to farmers to achieve a more sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming. 

This year we celebrated 20 years of Lely Discovery, reinforcing the impact this innovation has had on dairy farming worldwide. Now, with over 23,000 Discovery scraper units operating globally, the 2,000th Scraper assembled this year is more than just a number—it’s a symbol of progress, perseverance, and pride.

Maassluis, 24 June 2025 – Today at the Future Farm Days, Lely proudly launched three exciting solutions. Both Astronaut A5 Next and Astronaut Max build on the success of the Astronaut A5 milking robot. Next to that, Lely Hub was introduced: an essential data safety device for farmers. These solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern dairy farming, with a strong focus on improving animal welfare and farmer prosperity. Lely is proud to take the next step towards the realisation of the Farm of the Future.

Maassluis, 18 March 2025 – Lely has launched the Vector MFR Next, the new mixing and feeding robot that takes robotic precision feeding to a higher level. The Vector MFR Next has a strong drive line and a frame with a loading capacity of up to 800kg. This provides a 35% increase in feed loading capacity compared to the previous generation, increasing the suitability for more farms. Front and rear lights provide extra visibility. The Vector provides dairy farmers with a versatile mixing and feeding solution to optimise their feeding strategy and save substantially on labour. With this new robot, the Vector MFR Next takes Lely another step further towards the Farm of the Future.
