Bos Bolsward and Ufkes Greentec, STRONGER TOGETHER

Two strong brands are joining forces.
As of April 1, 2023, Ufkes Greentec has taken an interest in Bos Bolsward. Both companies are engaged in engineering, production, sales and service of machines in a niche market. Whereas Bos Bolsward focuses on earth moving and levelling and ditch and verge maintenance, Ufkes Greentec focuses on machinery for tree care and forestry. Both companies are in a niche market producing small series with customer-specific modifications.

Joris Bos: The developments in the market are going very fast. We have to keep investing in new developments and improvements. By applying many common techniques and control systems, we can make great strides in the coming years. I am pleased that in Ufkes we have found a good partner with the same eye for quality and development.

Roelof Bos: Through the cooperation with Ufkes Greentec we expand our network and capacity considerably and we can perform many common developments more efficiently to keep the price for the customer right.

Together the Ufkes companies and Bos Bolsward have more than 90 FTE at work every day. Together it gives the clout needed for a stable future. Both companies remain 100% independent and will use each other’s capacities in the field of engineering, sales, production and service.

Jippe Ufkes: The market is changing more and more towards larger and professional companies that strive for machines where more capacity can be achieved with less personnel. This means a different way of building machines combined with the highest quality to avoid downtime of a machine. Where a problem arises it is solved as quickly as possible. I am proud that we may be part of Bos Bolsward.

Piet Yntema: In a challenging market in terms of retaining personnel and recruiting new technically skilled personnel, we are pleased that we can further utilize the joint knowledge and skills. The labour market is changing and a certain scale is needed to further professionalize this. This combined with a loyal group of colleagues who strive daily for a better end product, make both Bos Bolsward and Ufkes Greentec a strong brand.

About Bos Bolsward:
Since Bos Bolsward was founded 60 years ago, Bos Bolsward has been manufacturing, among other things, scrapers and sliding dozers for leveling plots of land, sports fields or road construction.

The mowing arms are permanently attached to the tractor or coupled with a quick-change system.
