What we do

GMV is the association of agri & food machinery manufacturers in the Netherlands.

GMV offers its members a distinctive network for inspiration, innovation and collective action.

The topics of GMV

Sustainable sector - Product design

We design machines for a sustainable future made from recyclable and biodegradable materials, built to be repairable, and engineered with strict hygiene standards. Our priority: food-safe, easy to clean, safe to use, and future-proof.

Sustainable sector - In use

By leveraging AI, digitalization, automation, and robotics, our machines minimize repetitive labor and maximize efficiency. They are traceable, maintainable through predictive maintenance, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly to clean. We focus on freshness, shelf life, and reducing loss - through techniques like cooling, freezing, sealing, and packaging within a closed cold chain.

Valued employment

We are committed to a food-systems sector where people take pride in their work and grow professionally. A workplace that retains talent and attracts new, motivated professionals.

Connecting the supply chain

We join forces globally to drive innovation, maintain the strength of the Dutch agrifood sector, and scale our impact. We also engage with governments and stakeholders to shape policy, unlock funding, and deepen sector collaboration.
