Company Description

ForFarmers is one of Europe's largest animal feed companies, producing and supplying complete nutrition solutions for livestock farmers raising pigs, poultry, cattle, and other animals. The company provides the scientifically formulated feed that helps farmers efficiently raise healthy animals for meat, milk, and egg production. With production of approximately 10 million tonnes of feed annually, ForFarmers offers products ranging from standard compound feeds to specialized nutrition programs tailored to specific animal needs and farming systems. The company also provides organic feed solutions and on-farm advisory services to help farmers optimize animal health, productivity, and sustainability. Under its mission 'For the Future of Farming,' ForFarmers is working to make agricultural production more sustainable. Founded in 1896 in Lochem, Netherlands, ForFarmers started as an agricultural cooperative serving Dutch farmers. Over more than a century, it grew through mergers and acquisitions into a European feed leader, going public on Euronext Amsterdam in 2016. The company operates production facilities in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom, exporting to additional countries within and outside Europe. Headquartered in Lochem with approximately 2,900 employees, ForFarmers is led by CEO Pieter Wolleswinkel, who stepped into the role in 2023. The company navigates a challenging agricultural environment marked by volatile commodity prices, changing regulations, and pressure to reduce livestock farming's environmental footprint, while maintaining its position as a trusted partner to European farmers.
