Celebrating 130 years of spreader development
The medium-sized family business Ludwig Bergmann GmbH from Goldenstedt is celebrating its 130th company anniversary in 2026. What began in 1896 with the founding of an agricultural machinery manufacturing plant by Ludwig Bergmann Sr. has developed over thirteen decades into an internationally active specialist for modern spreading, grassland, and transfer technology.
The traditional company, now managed by the third generation of the owner family, has always relied on its close ties to the region and its strong innovative capacity. Bergmann is demonstrating in its anniversary year that experience is the best foundation for new developments. Following the completion of the new 5,000-square-meter production hall at the headquarters in 2025, the company continues to invest continuously in state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and optimal working conditions for its workforce. Furthermore, the introduction of the new “XPERT” spreader series underlines the commitment to providing application-oriented agricultural technology with real added value for professional farms and contractors worldwide.
“130 years of Bergmann represent a tradition that commits us, but also a clear mission for the future,” explains Managing Director Dr. jur. Jutta Middendorf-Bergmann. “With our recent investments at the Goldenstedt site and pioneering product concepts, we have created an excellent starting position. We look to the future with great optimism and confidence, and will continue to support modern agriculture as a reliable partner with the best quality ‘Made in Goldenstedt’.”
