WE LIVE MILK
DeLaval is a market leader and trusted partner for thousands of farmers around the planet, providing integrated milking solutions designed to improve dairy farmers’ production, animal welfare and overall quality of life. The company develops, manufactures and markets equipment for milk production and animal husbandry worldwide.
OUR SOLUTIONS
DeLaval offers highly efficient system solutions for milking, farm and herd management, animal traffic control, feeding, cooling, manure handling, ventilation and energy recovery. DeLaval customers can also choose from a wide range of services and consumables: liners & tubes, farm supplies, services & original parts, and milk quality & animal health.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Every time we help a farmer find a way to produce more milk from the same herd, we’re making food production more sustainable – by introducing a new working method on the farm, a new parlour, better liners, better hygiene, better data to make better decisions, by cutting disease and keeping cows healthier, by increasing their milking lifetime. Every time we do that, we help farmers do more with less.
Every time we do that, we’re moving on the road to more sustainable food production.
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
Research and innovation are central to the continued success of DeLaval supporting our customers and we have seven R&D centres around the globe. We work closely with a worldwide network of farmers, academics, dedicated research facilities, scientists, sales teams and authorised dealers.
Innovation is in our blood. It’s been in our blood since Gustaf DeLaval patented the centrifugal cream separator back in 1878. That is 140 years of continuous knowledge, accumulating year after year and changing how we do things, innovating to make them better.
In short, we live milk.
