BrimaPack 75th anniversary

BrimaPack Celebrates 75 Years of Innovation in Vegetable Harvesting and Packaging

From a small blacksmith’s workshop to an international specialist in vegetable harvesting and packaging solutions. In 2026, BrimaPack proudly celebrated its 75th anniversary. To mark this special milestone, Ron van de Pavert shared the company's remarkable history, technological developments and vision for the future in an interview with AGF Primeur.

From Blacksmith to International Machine Manufacturer

The story of BrimaPack began in 1951, when Ron van de Pavert's father started working as a village blacksmith, primarily shoeing horses. Over the following decades, the family business gradually evolved from traditional craftsmanship into agricultural mechanisation and specialised machine manufacturing.

Today, BrimaPack develops and manufactures advanced harvesting machines, vegetable packaging systems and complete automated solutions for the agricultural industry. Its machinery is used by growers around the world, particularly for crops such as iceberg lettuce and broccoli.

Innovation and Automation at the Heart of BrimaPack

Throughout its 75-year history, BrimaPack has continuously adapted to changing market demands and technological developments.

In the interview with AGF Primeur, Ron van de Pavert highlights the company's impressive transformation:

“We started as farriers, and now we have machines that use AI to determine cutting height.”

With increasing labour shortages and rising production costs, automation is becoming more important than ever in the agricultural sector.

BrimaPack continues to invest in innovative harvesting technology, including AI-assisted systems that support precise cutting and efficient harvesting processes. These developments help growers improve productivity, reduce manual labour and optimise their operations.

Smarter Packaging and Reduced Food Waste

Innovation at BrimaPack goes beyond harvesting machines. The company also focuses on efficient vegetable packaging solutions that help extend product shelf life and reduce food waste.

With specialised packaging technologies such as BrimaFilm AF, BrimaPack supports growers in maintaining product quality while reducing unnecessary losses throughout the supply chain.

By combining harvesting, handling and packaging technologies, BrimaPack provides integrated solutions tailored to the specific needs of its customers.

Looking Back on 75 Years and Ahead to the Future

The 75th anniversary was a special moment to reflect on the company's journey, from its origins as a local family business to its international activities today.

BrimaPack looks back with pride on this milestone and remains committed to developing innovative, efficient and future-oriented solutions for the agricultural industry.

We would like to thank our employees, customers and partners for their trust and contribution throughout the years.

Here's to many more years of innovation, craftsmanship and successful partnerships!
