Past weekend the Baks Group celebrated their 60th anniversary with all its employees. In 1955 our founder, Anton Baks, started his company in Borculo. His main activity was the transport of milk for local farmers. With a loan from the local butter factory he bought his first tractor. Anton Baks quickly discovered driving milk was not sufficient to survive. He decided to extend his services by buying a root harvesting machine. By doing so he started an advanced agricultural service providing company. In the early 70’s he expanded his services again, this time by starting the distribution of liquid fertilizers. A business activity that was totally new.<\/p>\n

In 1995 Anton Baks retired, it became time for a new generation. His sons Andr\u00e9 and Wim Baks and son in law Tonny Winkelhorst took over the business. Son in law Tonny became responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company. Since then the Baks Group started growing significantly.<\/p>\n

Now, 60 years after the founding, the Baks Group consists of six related companies. Known to be:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Baks Loon- en Grondverzetbedrijf (Agricultural service provider)<\/li>\n
  2. Baks Borculo (Distribution of fertilizers)<\/li>\n
