Germany's professional farmers have unequivocally honoured our firm focus on the future as demonstrated by our investment in the new company headquarters and in many new products. In the annual DLG survey for 2005, they once again declared WestfaliaSurge to be the company with the best image. For the ninth time in succession, the milking technology manufacturer from Bönen took first place in the livestock sector.
Norbert Leveling, General Manager of WestfaliaSurge Deutschland GmbH sees this as confirmation of the successful path taken by WestfaliaSurge. "The relocation phase and new organisation in a central location is an exciting time for a company of our size and we brought it off without any hitches. Our cus-tomers can now profit from optimal production and logistics, which we can now focus more accurately on market requirements thanks to the special efforts of our skilled teams." Innovative products and excellent service in sales and consultancy have made WestfaliaSurge the image leader among Germany's farmers. He also considers the customer-dealer partnerships, promoted and continually expanded in the market by WestfaliaSurge for decades, as a further success factor.
The company's quality and environmental management at their new location was also certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001 first time around. This covers all areas of production, logistics, R&D and administration.
This year, 725 professional farmers assessed companies operating in the agricultural technology and livestock farming sector, as well as service providers such as insurance companies and banks. The ranking is based on the evaluation of the criteria reliability, service, customer service, modern technology and price/performance ratio. The evaluation also included advertising and the quality of the company's internet presence.
