André van Troost, CEO Lely: "Just like the Mauritshuis preserves 'De stier’ for future generations, we want to help dairy farmers worldwide to pass on their business to future generations. We have been doing that for 75 years. Because for centuries, farmers and their livestock have been an important link in food production. Also in the future, because there are more and more mouths to feed in the world. We are therefore proud to partner with the Mauritshuis and help restore a work of art by a great Dutch painter. We should be proud of our Dutch heritage. Be it beautiful art or wonderful Dutch family businesses like Lely."
