History

 
Since 1991 Holm & Laue has been developing state-of-the-art feeding technology for performance-oriented calf husbandry. Today, these solid and weather-proof systems form the basis of labour-saving and healthy calf rearing around the world. Many characteristics that are considered standard in modern feeding technology originate in developments from Holm & Laue.

Please have a look at some milestones of the history of our company:
1994 The company focuses on weight-dependent feed dispensing. This means that feed quantity is determined in relation to the weight gain of the calves.
1996 The Joker Calf Feeder is introduced and features two mixer bowls, which can be used to feed two calves their individually customised ration simultaneously.
1998 The water-adding, temperature-driven mixing system “TOM” is awarded the DLG Silver Medal at the 1998 Eurotier show.
  The spatious group igloo from Holm & Laue, size approx. 15m² (161½sq.ft) is one of the few true product innovations in recent years. In the meantime, it has become the basis for healthy outdoor calf husbandry around the world.
2000 The new H&L 100 Calf Feeder replaces the H&L Joker. The functional principles that stood the test are complemented with further options. With a design that pleases the eye, the H&L 100 looks like the feeder of the future that it is and that does not leave anything to be desired.
  The transition to the H&L 100 is also a new impulse for our export business. Farmers in many countries around the world can turn the advantages of our modern feeding technology to their benefit.
2002 Holm & Laue extends the scope of the H&L Igloo and turns it into a full outdoor calf housing system. The H&L Igloo is the optimum solution to bring calf health and work efficiency in line with each other.
2004 On the occasion of the Eurotier 2004 show, Holm & Laue is awarded the Innovation Prize of DLZ Publishers for the H&L Igloo Verandah, which is honoured as an innovation particulary close to the practice of the job.
2005 The H&L Milk Taxi is a further complement to the product line to allow feeding calves in individual hutches and with teat feeder buckets; yet another element of state-of-the-art calf feeding.
2006 The most recent development is a process-controlled pasteuriser for milk intended for the calf diet, which is available as an additional option for the Milk Taxi.

The fact that all these product innovations continue to show growing numbers of units sold and that they open up new markets for us by the day, shows how closely they are in line with what the people on the job need.
