SAC milking equipment is entering the UK market actively with a full line assortment of milking equipment.
The Dairy Event is the most important national exhibition to do so. SAC exhibited during the recent Dairy Event on 6-7 september 2011 to reach all dairy farmers, trade companies, and processors from UK but also visitors from Ireland.
New dealers are welcome, says Ruud Schlenter, we are one of the few Full Liners able to sell traditional systems of all kind and a robotic dairy system with more than 12 years of practical experience.
Each year, two important Awards are held during the Dairy Event. The machenery equipment award and the prestigious Prince Philip award.
SAC signed in and became finalist for both Awards.
From all Finalists two winners are chosen. The number one and a number two receiving the honourfull The Certificate of Merit. It commemorates the prince’s Presidency of The Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers from 1973-1975. The award is presented to the most practical, relevant and best presented technical demonstration at the annual Dairy Farming Event. This was given to SAC Milking Equipment with their completely new concept for robotic milking in combination with an overall real time management system integrated in the robotic concept. That is revolutionairy and no one in the World has a system like this. SAC calls it the new herd manager for the modern dairy farmer. On youtube SAC is explaining the concept via two animation films. Feel free to have a look on: YouTube
Also present during the presentation were mr Gerrit Aanstoot (Sales Support Manager) and mr Martin van Middelkoop (Dealer Manager).
We are greatful for receiving the Certificate of Merit and see this as a great stimulation to keep developing products for modern future dairy farmers. The whole concept is a product with vision and far ahaed in the market.
The TIM (Total Integrated Management) system controls the whole farm. It displays up to 23 different indicators on one central dashboard which gives the farmer always an immediated overview on his farm. Good management is the future!!
We are keen to explain this concept. Farmers hearing about it are really positively surpised about this development.
