History of Roxell
The founders of Chore-Time — Forrest Lee Ramser and Howard Brembeck — opened a subsidiary in Sijsele (BE). The first feeder pans for broilers and centerless augers were put on the market in Europe.
After 2 years, they outgrew the rented warehouse in Sijsele. They therefore invested in a new factory in Maldegem. This meant there was space for a department for developing new products for the poultry and pig markets.
Roxell was given its current name. ‘Roxell’ is a combination of two words: ‘Rock’ as a metaphor for the solidity of the company. ‘Excellence’ to underscore our commitment to continually strive for excellence in all aspects of our activities.
Roxell opened an office in the USA, so it could respond more rapidly to the American market.
Roxell opened a branch for the sales team in Russia.
The poultry market in Asia was growing. Therefore, Roxell opened a site in Malaysia.
The innovation team was given extra space after the Roxell Innovations Center (RIC) was opened in Maldegem.
A celebratory moment for Roxell and its employees. Time to look back on what we’ve achieved in 50 years:
- launched 40 completely new systems
- many of these systems became worldwide trendsetters, such as MiniMax, Boozzter and Natural Beak Smoothing.
- Roxell has become the authority in feeding and drinking systems for broilers and broiler breeders.
Roxell is expanding all its sites:
- Maldegem: the construction of a modern head office
- Malaysia: a new building with a 6400 m² warehouse
- USA: the factory is being extended and will be turned into a hub for the Americas.
