A Look Behind the Scenes of the Kverneland Group Grass Factory

Manufacturing of Mowers, Rakes & Tedders

Kverneland Group Kerteminde has taken the next step in an ambitious plan to upgrade production facilities, preparing the factory for future demands. During the last 5 years, heavy investments have been made to increase capacity and flexibility and to secure premium quality. Substantial investments still lie ahead. The aim is to position the Kerteminde factory as one of the most modern grass equipment production facilities in Europe.

It is important to retain core competences at the factory in order to ensure full control of both quality and delivery performance. This is why large-scale investments are being made to optimise these areas. Substantial investments have already been made in new production systems, automation of processes using robot technology, as well as new laser cutters. At the same time, the LEAN philosophy is gradually being introduced, in order to optimise production flow and facilitate swift adaptation to changes in market demands.
