Struik Export B.V.

The history of Struik Wieringermeer B.V. began in 1934, when Hendrik Struik established his forge in Slootdorp. As a new polder, the Wieringermeer had only just been uncovered, making 21,000 ha of excellent agricultural land available. Soon, Hendrik’s forge turned its focus to agricultural machinery, and the forge developed into a true agricultural mechanisation company. In the 1960s, Struik developed the successor to the crumbler; the first element cultivator, a machine that became an instant success. Many new machines were also developed in the 1970s, including the first rotary cultivator. Every one of them turned out to be a successful innovation. By now, Struik’s name recognition is so great that its machines are sold in over 76 countries worldwide. In some countries, Struik is actually the market leader in the field of rotary cultivation. Meanwhile, the fourth generation has joined the management.
