"Made in Denmark"

Back in 1934, Bogballe's founder Anders Peter Laursen, started production of poultry farm equipment in the village of Bøgballe. In the early 1950s focus was shifted to the production of the well-known blue fertiliser spreaders. It was the start of a worldwide export, which has provisionally brought us to about 100 countries.

Today, 65 highly skilled employees work at the factory. We still produce all parts at the factory in Bøgballe, and can therefore still designate our products as "Made in Denmark".


Fertiliser Spreaders

We are one of the world wide leading manufacturers of mineral fertiliser spreaders. 365 days a year we are thinking, developing and manufacturing the best techniques for distributing mineral fertiliser - a passion through generations. 

Optimal functionality and user-friendly design are based on years of practical experience in co-operation with farmers world wide.

At our disposal we have the latest high technology production facilities combined with proven facilities for development and full scale testing in our test hall. We are working all year around analysing fertiliser specifications, testing and formulating spread charts by spreading more than 200 ton of fertiliser each year. Our test hall is one of Europe´s biggest and most advanced and the only facility that is set up with two systems to manage both 2D and 3D testing.

The Silicon Valley of fertiliser spreaders

Bogballe A/S is owned by Erhvervsinvest, which through active ownership is committed to maintaining and further developing Bogballe as a technology leader in mineral fertiliser spreaders.

From March 2023 Bredal A/S, which produces the well-known red fertiliser spreaders, is also owned by Erhvervsinvest. With an area of ​​38,600 m2 spread over 3 locations, the 2 brands now collectively have the world's largest production facility for fertiliser and lime spreaders.

It is not without reason that the area where the 3 factories are located is now known as the "Silicon Valley of fertiliser spreaders".
