KSE Process Technologies

In 1973, Adriaan Smulders founded Kempen Service Elektrotechniek, originally a small company that focused on electrical installations in the agriculture branch. A few years later, KSE landed its first major customer in the Dutch feed industry: Coppens Diervoeding (nowadays De Heus), hereby setting its first steps toward becoming market leader in the Benelux for industrial automation in the animal nutrition industry. Our PROMAS Automation Software was first developed in 1988 and in 1997 ALFRA Doseer- en Weegsystemen (est. 1933) was acquired by and therefore becoming a brand of KSE. In the late 90’s Adriaan’s sons Erik and René joined the family business.

Over the years, KSE has specialized in dosing and weighing systems and smart automation software for the animal feed industry. We are clearly focused on continuous innovation, which is passed from generation to generation. The animal feed industry is our focus market. Personal contact, excellent service and a passion for the powder and granulate processing industry are key. This has helped us grow from a small company to an international business with activities worldwide. In 2023, KSE celebrates its 50th anniversary.
