In December we celebrated a milestone: 50 years of Ahlmann Netherlands. For three days our grounds in Ammerzoden were dominated by our anniversary. We opened the doors to everyone involved with our company - from machine operators and customers to suppliers, former employees and family.

There was plenty to do: demonstrations, a showground full of machines, games, fun and plenty of entertainment for the kids. All while enjoying a snack, a drink and above all: good company. In total we welcomed thousands of visitors. It was special to see so many familiar faces and to meet new ones.

For us, it was more than a celebration: it was a moment of pride and gratitude. Proud of where we stand as a family business, and grateful for the people who have made this possible. Because for fifty years we have been building Ahlmann Netherlands together - with our customers, partners and, of course, our team.

With these days we look back on a rich history full of developments, relationships and beautiful moments. And at the same time we look forward. Because in the coming years we will continue to do what we do best: delivering machines with added value and putting the people around them center stage.
