Family company
Technology with a family heartbeat
For over 35 years, Ellips has grown as a family company. It was founded by Erwin Bakker and is now shaped by the next generation. Just like the growers and packers we serve, we believe in building something that lasts — through trust, loyalty, craftsmanship, and real commitment. Today, Erwin’s children work alongside our experienced team, bringing fresh perspectives that drive the next generation of AI-powered grading solutions.
History
Seeing the unseen since 1989
Ellips was founded over three decades ago by a team of advanced software engineers in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Their passion led to the development of the fastest and most accurate optical grading technology in the world. And to this day, our technology continues to lead the industry ensuring our customers can see the unseen. To make sure they can maximize every harvest.
Product
Ellips. Elisam. Elifab. One big grading family.
By combining our optical grading technology with the cutting-edge machinery from our sister companies, Elisam and Elifab, growers everywhere benefit from the most reliable, and accurate grading technology. Working with growers, we’ve also built a huge database of produce defects over years of harvests, that every customer can access. This collective intelligence continues to grow and take grading to the next level.
Reduce food waste
More food value, less food waste
We’re proud to work with the world’s largest growers and packers. Together we use technology that extracts the greatest value from every harvest and minimizes food waste. After all, the global population is continuing to grow and extreme weather is impacting harvests everywhere. It’s why we’ll continue to invest in new advancements to ensure the future availability of food worldwide.
“What we like about Ellips technology is that it gives the operator full control. That’s a huge advantage. With other manufacturers, the machine takes over, leaving little room for adjustments. Ellips puts control back in our hands."
