Just see our latest innovations – some already in full use, others still in development: from robotic tractors, automated vineyard sprayers, auto-docking boats, hydrogen fuel cell technology, and zero-emission buildings to agricultural sensing drones. As always, our guiding principle is not the product itself but the challenges we can solve, with quality, reliability, and sustainability at the core.
