What Hanskamp does

Hanskamp is a privately held Dutch agri-tech company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Wehl, Netherlands. It develops and distributes equipment for dairy farmers, with a portfolio spanning milking parlour feeding systems, concentrate feeding stations, milking carousel and robotic milking integrations, feed management, the VrijLevenStal free-range barn concept, FeedStation Mobile, Batch Milking, and the MultiFrame structural system. Its core technology is mechanical separation applied to dairy cattle manure handling, and its flagship innovation is the CowToilet, a device that separates cow urine from faeces at source and is reported to reduce ammonia emissions by approximately 35%.\n\nThe company operates a hardware-sales business model, distributing products through an authorized dealer network with a public dealer locator and a dedicated webshop at webshop.hanskamp.nl. End customers are medium to large-scale dairy farmers, and Hanskamp emphasizes solutions developed in collaboration with farmers and dealers, marketed through agricultural trade shows, a knowledge centre, newsletters, and product demonstration events such as CowToilet open days and the Hanskamp Händlertag.\n\nOperationally, Hanskamp has obtained regulatory approval for CowToilet in the Netherlands and is benefiting from a draft law in Belgium's Flanders region that would mandate the technology, while also expanding into the United Kingdom in 2025. The company is running a Reinventing Circular Dairy Farming pilot investigating reuse of collected urine as fertilizer, and has received industry recognition including Gold and Bronze at the LAMMA Innovation Awards 2026 and a Royal Dairy Innovation Award 2026 finalist placement. No funding rounds, institutional investors, parent company, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Products and services

• CowToilet A specialised toilet system for cows that separates urine and faeces at source to reduce ammonia emissions by approximately 35%, improve environmental outcomes, and enable reuse of collected urine as fertiliser. Aimed at dairy farmers needing to address environmental regulations and farm pollution.
• Voeren in de melkstal (Milking parlour feeding) Feeding solution for cows in the milking parlour — cows are fed during milking, which encourages them to enter the parlour willingly and promotes faster milk let-down through oxytocin peak production during pre-treatment and milking.
• Voeren in het krachtvoerstation (Concentrate feeding station) Concentrate feeding station solution for providing concentrated feed to dairy cows.
• Voeren in de melkcarrousel (Milking carousel feeding) Feeding solution designed for milking carousels, allowing cows to be fed while being milked in a carousel system.
• Voeren in de melkrobot (Milking robot feeding) Feeding solution for milking robots, integrating concentrate feeding with automated milking systems.
• Voermanagement (Feed management) Feed management system for monitoring and optimizing feed distribution and consumption across dairy operations.
• VrijLevenStal (Free life barn) Free-range living barn concept designed to improve animal welfare and cow comfort in dairy operations.
• FeedStation Mobile Mobile feeding station that can be moved around the farm for flexible concentrate feeding solutions.
• Batch Milking Batch milking system that groups cows for milking at specific intervals, improving workflow efficiency.
• MultiFrame Frame system suitable for herringbone milking parlours at angles from 30° to 70°, providing structural support for feeding equipment.
• Reinventing Circular Dairy Farming (Pilot project) Pilot project focused on circular dairy farming practices, investigating sustainable resource management and environmental solutions, including reuse of collected urine as fertiliser.

Direct peers

• Lely: Dutch-based dairy equipment manufacturer that competes directly in milking robots, feeding systems, and barn concepts — overlapping most of Hanskamp's portfolio and serving the same EU dairy-farm customer.
• BouMatic: Specialist manufacturer of milking parlour systems and dairy farm equipment. Comparable as a direct peer competing for herringbone parlour feeding installs and milking-infrastructure budgets.
• Schauer Agrotronic: Austrian feeding-system and barn-equipment manufacturer. Direct peer on concentrate feeding, liquid feeding, and on-farm dairy equipment with comparable European dealer-distribution model.
• JOZ: Dutch company specializing in feeding, manure, and barn technology for livestock farms. Direct peer in on-farm feeding and barn infrastructure with overlapping EU dealer coverage.
• Trioliet: Dutch-originated manufacturer of livestock feeding systems (TMR mixers, feeders). Directly comparable on the concentrate-feeding and on-farm feeding-system side of Hanskamp's portfolio.
• Spinder Livestock Equipment: Dutch supplier of dairy-barn equipment (cubicles, partitions, ventilation). Direct peer for the VrijLevenStal barn concept and broader on-farm dairy infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• DeLaval: Global incumbent in dairy farming equipment (milking, cooling, feeding). Comparable as a broad incumbent covering every dairy workflow Hanskamp addresses, but at far greater scale and product breadth.
• GEA Group: Diversified industrial machinery group with a dairy farming equipment business. Comparable as a broad incumbent supplying milking and feeding solutions to the same European dairy customer base.

Regional players

• Fullwood Packo: UK-headquartered milking equipment manufacturer. Comparable as a milking-parlour peer with strong UK distribution — directly relevant given Hanskamp's 2025 UK CowToilet launch.
• Happel GmbH: German-Austrian supplier of cow comfort and barn flooring products. Adjacent peer for VrijLevenStal-type free-range barn concepts in the German-speaking EU dairy market.
