Opening of our current premises at Vlotlaan 616 in Monster.
Koppert Machines started developing machines for spring onions. After a few years, we stopped doing this to focus more on the rise of snack vegetables.
The first 14-row bunching machine was developed.
Koppert Machines relocated to a completely new building at Vlotlaan 41 in Monster.
The first four bunching machines were delivered and further improved in collaboration with four leading radish growers.
Koppert Machines supplied the machines at cost price and took on the development costs to make the concept marketable. This convinced growers to get started.
It was a great success, with dozens of machines following.
Koppert Machines relocated to larger premises at Vlotlaan 37 in Monster.
The idea was born to automate radish without leaves using mechanical processing technology. This was a minimal setup with one deleafing unit and one top and tailing unit. With a capacity of 'only' 350 kg per hour. It was delivered to Veiling Zuid, in Het Westland.
Later that year, the harvesting machine for loose radishes was also developed. This machine was operated by walking behind it and steering it yourself.
In the first year, Arie Koppert started building sowing machines for greenhouse horticulture. Arie also had to sow seeds first in order to reap the rewards!
Koppert Machines was founded in 1983 by Arie Koppert. He found his first location on Westerduinlaan in Monster, in a small shed belonging to a greenhouse horticulture company.
Driven by our passion for agri- and food processes and the endless possibilities of technology, we develop machines, software and integrated systems that contribute to future-proof cultivation, processing and packing. From standard machines to custom solutions. Our technology not only increases the capacity, but also the job satisfaction and ease of use of the people who work with it.
We embrace innovation, experiment with new ideas and translate complex challenges into reliable solutions that take the sector further.
With a focus on sustainability, efficiency and long-term quality, we create automation that makes organizations grow: smarter, greener and with more fun.
