Dewulf, the renowned Belgian agricultural machinery powerhouse, is set to broaden its production horizons with an expansion project in Winsum. The agreement, inked at the end of 2023 between CEO Hendrik Decramer of Dewulf Group and Jetze Lont, director of Lont BV, marks a significant stride forward for both entities.
Following over a year of meticulous planning and design efforts by Lont’s pre-project team for Agriculture and Industry, a fitting blueprint has been crafted and budgeted for the endeavor.
The projected kickoff for the venture is slated for the autumn of 2024, pending the approval of necessary permits by the Waadhoeke municipality.
