Full-service agricultural supplier with smart-farming and retail operations
Arvesta operates a vertically integrated agriculture business across feed, machinery, seeds, and 200+ retail locations, serving farmers and growers primarily in Belgium with expanding European presence. The tech stack reveals a traditional manufacturing-and-supply-chain operation (SAP S/4HANA, PLC/Siemens automation, Qlik analytics) with heavy mid-level hiring in sales and engineering, currently focused on process harmonization, S&OP tool integration, and horticulture automation—signaling a push to reduce production costs and coordinate operations across multiple production and distribution sites.
Arvesta is a privately held Belgian agricultural conglomerate with 2,300 employees and over 40 brands, operating across agribusiness (crop inputs, animal nutrition), horticulture, milling, machinery, and retail. The business serves farmers and horticultural growers across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, combining on-the-ground expertise with digital farming tools. Revenue streams span agronomic consulting, feed and fertilizer sales, machinery distribution, and the Aveve retail network. Active projects reflect ongoing operational modernization: automation of production processes, integration of supply-and-operations planning tools, quality management standardization, and customer segmentation work. Pain points cluster around cost reduction, process inefficiency, multi-site coordination, and seasonal demand volatility.
Arvesta's stack centers on SAP S/4HANA for enterprise resource planning, Qlik/QlikView for analytics, Siemens and generic PLC systems for production automation, and Autodesk (Inventor, AutoCAD) for design and engineering work.
Arvesta is headquartered in Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium. The company operates across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany with 200+ Aveve retail locations.
