Organic growth
As Buitelaar steps confidently into its 104th year, the business stands as a powerful example of how heritage and progress can work hand in hand. Through greater control of its supply chain, deeprooted commitments to animal welfare, and bold investments in regenerative farming, Buitelaar has not only strengthened its resilience in the market but reaffirmed its passion for doing right by both animals and the environment. With a clear vision for sustainable growth, the company is well positioned to influence the future of the farming industry for generations to come.
“ My main priority for 2026 is to build on our strong foundations. It’ s easy to talk about growth, but this year is about strengthening what we have, so we’ re ready for the next phase,” Adam reveals.“ We’ re excited for the year ahead, but we must remember that, by 2060, we will need 70 percent more food to feed the world than we do today, and it’ s important that our business is positioned to do that in an economical way.
“ In the future, we’ ll look at good opportunities to grow, perhaps by acquiring other businesses who are struggling a bit more than we are, but it’ s important that we protect what we already have,” Adam concludes, optimistic for the next chapter ahead.“ For me, it always comes back to the people – we have a fantastic, passionate team. We’ ve built a business where people genuinely care and take pride in what they do and I’ m a very lucky person- I really respect the people I work with.” ■
