What Flingk Machinebouw does

Flingk Machinebouw is a Dutch privately held agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 2011 by Niels van den Berselaar and Marijn Berben, headquartered in Heeswijk-Dinther, North Brabant, Netherlands. The company designs, engineers, and manufactures farm equipment under its own Flingk brand across six product categories: kuilhappers (silage choppers in five series for machines from 4-20 tons), instrooiers (bedding spreaders for cubicles and poultry barns including sand, sawdust, straw, and compost-compatible variants), stroverdelers (dust-minimised straw distributors and straw blowers), bietensnijders/reinigers (beet cutters and cleaners for dairy feed rations), and aanbouwdelen (attachment parts). All products are built in-house at the Heeswijk-Dinther facility, which has included a laser welding robot since 2021 that is suitable for 90% of the product range.

The company's revenue model is straightforward hardware sales of its own-brand agricultural equipment, with pricing conducted on a quote basis through a network of regional dealers and direct contact. Products are sold across six European countries (Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland), with international distribution handled through country-specific importers such as Apesekoitus & Separointi Oy (Finland) and Trejon (Sweden), and supported by active participation in 11+ annual European agricultural trade shows. The customer base is composed of livestock and dairy farmers (primary), mixed farming operations including horse farms, and dairy farmers using feed beets. Technical differentiation is built on proprietary engineering features, including self-sharpening serrated blades from high-alloyed tool steel, Hardox 500 bottom blades, round interior bucket shapes for clean discharge, and the KHXL silage chopper's large-bite-height/small-bite-depth design that refreshes silage walls to prevent heating.
