GREEFA’s adventure started in 1940, originally as a small cartwright workshop. Surrounded by apple growers who asked for a solution to grade their fruits, the brothers Jacob and Anton de Greef, were challenged to ‘reinvent the wheel’. Their first circular sorting machine, called ‘De Tol’ (The Spinning Top), became very successful. From then on there was no going back. The collection of fruit-sorting concepts and peripherals grew steadily, as well as the range of customers.
In the following decades GREEFA has built on its lead. We introduced many new grading and packing solutions. From small and relatively simple improvements that had a positive impact on the day to day business of our customers, to big innovations that were real game-changers for the sector.
With our solutions we’re now servicing the entire globe. But our customer focus, our drive for innovation, and our commitment to quality are as strong as on day one. And although the pioneering era is long gone, and the market is more professional than ever, there is always room for improvement. Innovation knows no boundaries…
