TEWE – more than just numbers
Vision, expertise and committed staff
Pioneer in the use of innovative technology
TEWE Elektronic GmbH was created with an idea and a few employees who wanted to achieve something revolutionary in the early 80s: a new generation of electrotechnical controls and automatic programs for liquid feeding, and later for all feeding methods for livestock farming. This resulted in a much lower workload and much better quality for both people and animals. As a clear signal to the world, the word “Elektronic” was added to the TEWE company name, and it remains almost as a relic to this day.
Intuition, background and automation
Several factors played a role in the creation of TEWE: on one hand, a strong affinity with agriculture through the rural surroundings of the western Münster region and on the other, the pioneering spirit to utilise the countless, newly recognised possibilities of software-programmed control systems in places where work was still sometimes laboriously carried out with pitchforks and wheelbarrows, even on larger farms.
The market demands more
As wealth and GNP grew, so did the appetite for meat while the world population boomed. As such, automation came at just the right time – and TEWE found a gap in the market with its focus on fully automated feeding systems, in particular for pigs, which it has filled since 1983. The number of livestock animals in Germany alone meant this needed to be a success, which would hardly have been possible without advancements in feeding technology.
According to the Federal Office of Statistics, there were 10.8 million cattle, 22.3 million pigs and 167 million poultry birds being kept and fed in Germany’s 161,730 livestock farms in 2023. All of these animals require a total of 80 million tonnes of feed in grain units (1 grain unit is equivalent to the nutrient content of 100 kg of grain) per year. The feed is supplemented with a combination of nutrients, minerals and proteins which incorporates the latest findings in nutritional research and is optimised for the needs of the animals. In addition, European animal feed legislation sets quality and safety requirements which feeds are obliged to meet.
TEWE's feeding solutions ensure that the special-made mixture reaches the right animal at the right time. We’ve been working on this for 40 years, and we’ll continue to do so with all of the innovative technology available to us!
