Post announced on Twitter on Tuesday that it had hired a manager for its Lely dealership operations, and on Wednesday that it had already processed its first order for a Lely milking robot system.
Post and Lely noted that while they will work together on Integrated Agritect, both companies will “continue to work independently and sell their own product offerings.”
For family-owned Post, that business also includes structures such as commercial buildings, carriage houses, hangars and garages.
Lely, which bills itself as the “undisputed market leader in the sales and service of automated milking systems,” recently launched a promotional campaign marking the installation of its 12,500th Astronaut brand milking robot.
Lely also markets livestock feeding and barn lighting and cleaning systems as well as forage harvesting and commercial turf maintenance equipment.
