VDK Agri Open Top Premium wins Innov’SPACE!
VDK Agri has won a 2020 Innov’SPACE for the Open Top Premium Single and Duo! Our colleague Jean Bernard Béranger received the award yesterday.
The calf box VDK Agri Open Top Premium is suitable for the farmer who wants to keep calves indoors or under a roof. The product scores well on ease of use and hygiene. For example, it has a two-part locking gate, known from the VDK Agri Hybrid. The two-part locking gate can be opened and removed in one simple operation. This also applies to the grating. It can be removed and placed back within seconds. This makes cleaning very easy. The system is practical and flexible and ensures a high level of hygiene and user-friendliness.
