The origin of SANOVO TECHNOLOGY GROUP goes back to the 1960's when we were pioneers in the egg breaking industry. Today, we have become a successful and global group of market leaders within our many business industries. The timeline below maps out some of the defining moments in our history which changed the landscape of our company and the industries we are part of. Historic Moments 1961 SANOVO Founded SANOVO TECHNOLOGY, originally known as SANOVO ENGINEERING A/S, was founded by Lactosan and the Danish Toeraeg Factory under the name SANOVO Levnedsmidler A/S in October 1961 in Odense, Denmark. The main target was production and trade of food, but quickly the company also decided to enter into the production of egg breaking machines. November 1979, a new company SANOVO ENGINEERING A/S, was founded to continue the production and it became a subsidiary 100% owned by Lactosan-SANOVO Holding (today known as THORNICO). 1956 STAALKAT founded Mr Dirk van Katwijk, founder of Van Katwijk’s Industrial, bought the company 'Libra' in Hummelo in the east of Holland and moved it to Aalten. They were a producer of machinery for the textile industry. His idea was to produce egg-grading machines besides the existing product range. The company was founded in September 1956 and named STAALKAT. In 2006, STAALKAT joined the SANOVO TECHNOLOGY GROUP and today it has been renamed to SANOVO TECHNOLOGY NETHERLANDS.
