Big Dutchman International GmbH based in Calveslage in Germany has entered into a partnership agreement with the Ammerlaan Group B.V. located in Venlo in the Netherlands.  This company is a full-service provider of greenhouse projects with over 75 years' experience in commercial horticulture.  Ammerlaan can erect greenhouses for fruit, vegetables, leafy greens covering 2 to 40 acres.  The company attained sales of $80 million in 2021.

Although Ammerlaan has completed projects in more than 80 countries their concentration is on central Europe. The Big Dutchman network will expand the international reach.

Big Dutchman regards the minority investment in Ammerlaan as a complement to current egg, poultry and hog production technology. Bernd Meerpohl the CEO of Big Dutchman stated, "I am convinced that our strong global network will support the expansion of Ammerlaan".

Exemplifying the motto "think global, act local" Big Dutchman generated a turnover of $1.1 billion in 2021 and employs 3,400 worldwide.
