VSS took over both the product range and the production of AMAC and Cappon between 2008 and 2010. Two traditional Zeeland companies with a rich history going back more than 100 years. Both sold and supplied a wide range of potato and onion harvesting machinery and tillage techniques worldwide. The foundations were laid by de Jonge&#8217;s forge in &#8216;s Heerenhoek and Cappon&#8217;s factory in Heinkenszand. After a somewhat declining period at the beginning of this century, both companies were merged into VSS Machinebouw.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;100px&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;40px&#8221; constrain_group_1=&#8221;yes&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;40px&#8221; top_margin=&#8221;80px&#8221; bottom_margin=&#8221;80px&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>THE BIRTH OF VSS AMAC<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"inside\">\n<p>In 2008, a partnership was formed with AGRIMAC, the owner of brands AMAC, CLIMAX and AGRIFAC.

At the end of 2008, this cooperation resulted in the complete acquisition of the AMAC operations by VSS Machinebouw. Its production continued at Oudelande. The brand name also changed: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vssmachinebouw.com\/en\/product-categorie\/vss-amac-en\/\">VSS AMAC<\/a> <\/strong>was born.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, the new development of VSS AMAC machines was taken up and immediately resulted in a new <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vssmachinebouw.com\/en\/winkel\/vss-amac-en\/vss-amac-onion-stock-harvester\/\">onion harvester<\/a> <\/strong>and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vssmachinebouw.com\/en\/winkel\/vss-amac-en\/vss-amac-onion-haulm-topper\/\">onion topper<\/a><\/strong>.

Also <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vssmachinebouw.com\/en\/dealers\/\">the number of dealers<\/a> <\/strong>for VSS Agro and VSS AMAC products increased significantly in recent years; to roughly 70
