Redesign & Divestment at Lely
Our assignment at Lely was extensive, as we had a leading role in the disentanglement of this internationally established, family-owned business, in the redesign of the new Lely Organization focused around Robotics and data, and in the reorganization and sale of the Forage business that formed in 1948 the roots of this family-owned business.
The Implementation of these reorganizations lead to the successful sale of the Forage business to the listed company AGCO. This major change, covering the Dutch headquarters and over a dozen Lely locations worldwide, made it possible for Lely to enter its next chapter with a bright future in dairy farming robotics.
