About us
Gerhard Strompen GmbH & Co. KG is an agricultural contracting company based in Straelen-Hetzert on the Lower Rhine. The family business, founded in 1965 by Laurenz Strompen, carries out all work from soil cultivation and GPS-controlled sowing through mineral, organic and lime fertilisation as well as crop protection to the harvesting of grass, cereals, rapeseed, maize and sugar beet. In addition, logistics and transport services for agricultural goods, slurry logistics, arable farming consultancy up to complete farm management, and documentation services such as field record cards, agricultural subsidy applications and nutrient balances are offered. In the civil engineering field, the company carries out earthworks and sewer work, including site clearance, clearing, road construction, basement excavation, sewer and drainage work as well as excavation for municipalities, commercial clients and private customers. This is complemented by the operation of the Straelen biogas plant (operator Bioenergie GmbH Straelen) with raw material purchasing, materials management and plant optimisation.
