DLG North America located in Toronto, Canada –
organizer of American Dairy XPO to launch in Vermont, U.S.A. and Canadian Dairy
XPO (CDX) in Ontario, Canada.
DLG’s (German Agricultural Society) new
subsidiary “DLG North America”, which it established in July this year, will
officially start operation in January 2025 from its base in Toronto, Canada.
Set up to manage DLG’s activities on the North American continent, the new
company will be offering the region’s farmers access to technical solutions and
best-practice knowledge, enabling informed investment decisions. The new ADX-
American Dairy XPO to take place November 4 and 5, 2025, in Vermont, USA, is
the company’s first launch exhibition.
BURLINGTON, Vermont, November 7, 2024 – A key part of DLG’s
internationalization strategy, the establishment of the DLG North America
subsidiary supports DLG’s non-profit statute – in existence since 1885 - to
promote farm management knowledge among farming professionals through
international exhibition and networking platforms. “Our new subsidiary DLG
North America has been set up to serve farming professionals in North America.
Also here, DLG will be developing exhibitions and events in the region and will
be a bridge between North America and Europe, for the exchange of
knowledge and innovation in the agricultural sector” says Jens Kremer, managing
director of DLG International. DLG North America will be drawing on DLG’s
exhibition expertise, which spans more than 135 years and today covers more
than 30 agricultural trade fairs worldwide, including EuroTier, the world’s
leading trade fair for livestock technologies held in Germany every two years.
DLG North America will be launching American Dairy
XPO, a trade fair that combines exhibition with farming knowledge delivered
through conferences and interactive talks. The American Dairy XPO will benefit
from existing synergies of DLG’s EuroTier livestock exhibition and the Canadian
Dairy XPO (CDX) in Ontario, Canada, which was part of DLG’s 2024 acquisition of
Underhill Enterprise Inc. (UEI). The work of DLG’s “Competence Center
Agriculture”, which covers farm management knowledge, international farmers
surveys and a network of 3,000 international experts, will benefit North
American farming professionals through the new DLG North America
subsidiary. Located in in Frankfurt, Germany, the Competence Center
Agriculture manages some 40 working groups of farmers, academics, agricultural
equipment companies and organizations that continually compare advances in
knowledge in specific areas such as irrigation and precision farming. The
results are shared openly with the farming community and published in DLG Expert
Knowledge series. Through field trials, including crop rotation and
irrigation, at DLG's International Crop Production Centre, a 600-hectare farm
in Bernburg-Strenzfeld, Germany, the DLG offers an important contribution to
new farming knowledge.
