Introduction

Careers at Lely

At Lely we believe in a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable future in farming. Now and for generations to come. This all started with a dream of two brothers who were born and raised on a farm and realized that farming and food production could be done in a different way.

Lely is an international family owned company with its headquarter in Maassluis, the Netherlands. From our headquarters, we collaborate with 9 clusters and more than 200 centers worldwide. At the Lely Centers, our solutions are actually sold and serviced.

Our 2,500 professionals, including Engineers, IT specialists, Technicians, Data specialists and Farm Management Advisors, work together worldwide to create the future of farming through innovative and valued solutions.
