What Vereijken Group does
Vereijken Group, operating legally as Cooperl Northern Europe B.V. since February 2025, is the Dutch regional arm of the French farmers' cooperative Cooperl Arc Atlantique. The business supplies an integrated 360-degree portfolio of pig farming equipment and smart-farming technology to commercial swine producers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Denmark, with the Vereijken brand now distributed globally through all Cooperl locations.
The product portfolio spans free-farrowing systems (the Pro Dromi family—Basic, Classic, Liberté, Swing, Up, and Farrow-to-Wean—built around an automatic Vari Free movable floor that reduces crushed piglets by 80%), modular flooring, climate control (Solar Impact far-infrared heating, integrated ventilation), feeding systems (IRIS), autonomous manure robotics (TracVac, Maxx Tractor), and animal health/biosecurity consumables under the Farmapro brand (Vitonic, Farmaflore, Farmasec, TOPAZ). Underlying technology includes the OptiScan 3D camera with computer-vision weight measurement trained on more than 10 million weighings across 6,300+ animals achieving 97-98% accuracy, the BinConnect Nanolike-based silo monitoring system with 4-day forecasting, and the Cooperl Suite web/mobile farm management platform with offline capability and self-diagnosis expert system.
Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of equipment and biosecurity products, sold via a direct field sales motion in Northern Europe and through Cooperl's worldwide distribution network for the Vereijken sub-brand. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts, and the customer base consists of small-to-mid-sized commercial pig farms. The 12-person Dutch team operates as a product, sales, and customer-success hub within the much larger Cooperl cooperative, which processes over 5 million pigs annually and holds the #1 position in French pig production and processing.
