Working for the Lely Group means working in an ambitious international family business. We have more than thirty facilities and customers in over sixty countries and are the market leader in automated systems for dairy farmers worldwide. We are a pioneer of wind turbines on farms. Recognized and acknowledged as a leader in Dutch manufacturing.
Apart from being a leader in our field, we also distinguish ourselves as a company with an informal atmosphere and a solid background in the agricultural sector. Our origins are in Maassluis (the Netherlands), where the company was founded in 1948. Even today, the Lely Campus is still established there. This is our head office and also a hub of innovation and creation.
We are proud to have been confirmed as a Great Place To Work by the Great Place to Work UK®. A lot of hard work has been put in over the past couple of years to achieve an amazing culture and building a team who are dedicated in supporting our Lely Centers and Lely Center customers.
Our values
Our unique combination of being a front-runner and a family business with a solid background in the agricultural sector is reflected in our core values: innovation, passion, progress, respect and honesty.
Our passion for the agricultural sector consistently brings us outside the realm of traditional ideas to come up with revolutionary concepts. With the introduction of innovative and ground-breaking products, such as our milking robot, we have already enjoyed tremendous success. To meet the needs of our customers, at Lely we develop and manufacture highly engineered products. These are based on the latest technology in the area of robotics and data processing. We are very proud of this!
We work with respect for people, animals and the environment. We are open and honest about our focal point: the wishes, needs and dreams of our customers. Our passion for innovation and sustainability is based on this. Lely employees are driven and engaged. With the culture of a family business they are respectful, honest and entirely customer-focused.
