Schouten focuses more on export and commerce after 75 years

No funny business, just hard work, the manufacture of solid machinery, sobriety at the office and on the work floor, no fat cars for the directors, but good pay for everyone. That’s the style that has characterised Schouten Sorting Equipment BV in Kampen for the past 75 years in the same way as it characterises Schouten’s famous jump grading installations. But there is a change in the air, the Schouten brothers, Gerben (35) and Arjan (40) reveal. The company that has always been production-oriented is going commercial in the coming years. The change follows two developments: the successful designs of the potato processing lines for export and the expansion of the activities in the flower bulb and chicory sectors.
