Agrifac opens the doors of the Agrifac Academy

On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Agrifac officially opened the Agrifac Academy, a brand-new training center located within Agrifac’s headquarters in Steenwijk. With the opening of the Academy, Agrifac takes a significant step in executing its mission: empowering growers worldwide to get the most out of their land through advanced spraying technology and precision agriculture.

With the Agrifac Academy, Agrifac now has its own professional training center where employees, dealers, partners, and other stakeholders are trained on everything related to Agrifac machines and technologies, from technical operation and maintenance to the latest precision technologies. A key priority is the structural training of its own staff. Employees receive tailored training to ensure they have the up-to-date knowledge and skills needed to deliver on Agrifac’s technological ambitions.

Investing in our own people

For Agrifac, the quality that growers experience in the field starts with the people who build and support the machines. Through the Academy, employees receive targeted technical training that keeps pace with the increasingly advanced machines, technologies, and systems Agrifac develops.

Theo Gerritzen, HR Director at Agrifac, underscores the Academy’s importance to the organization: “The Agrifac Academy is an investment in our people, and therefore in the future of our company. Whether you work on the production floor or work directly with customers, everyone at Agrifac deserves the opportunity to grow in a sector that is changing at a rapid pace. With this Academy, we give our employees the structure and resources to do exactly that.”

Knowledge as an extension of innovation

The opening fits seamlessly within Agrifac’s vision, which goes beyond building machines alone. The Academy offers a wide range of training programs, from technical knowledge about the machines to the application of precision technologies in the field. Participants learn not only how machines work, but also how they contribute to more sustainable and efficient farming practices.

Training with the future in mind

With the global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the pressure on the agricultural sector to produce more on the same amount of land continues to grow. Agrifac sees knowledge transfer as an essential link in that challenge, both outward to the wider world and internally within its own organization. The Agrifac Academy is therefore designed as a lasting investment in a well-trained, future-ready sector built around precision agriculture.

The opening of the Agrifac Academy marks a new chapter for Agrifac as a knowledge partner in the agricultural sector, a partner that stands not only for the best machines, but also for the people who build, sell, and work with them.
