About second-hand AVH - Antha Van Hienen machines

Caution: do not buy from Antha van Hienen B.V.

Unfortunately, we regularly receive reports from people who have been scammed by the so-called 'Antha van Hienen B.V.' However, the machine manufacturer Antha van Hienen B.V. went bankrupt several years ago, so they no longer operate under this name.

Unfortunately, scammers have taken this name as a cover for their rogue practices. They claim to be located at the same address as the original Antha van Hienen, at Wijdenes Spaansweg 57 in Breezand in the Netherlands, but anyone driving here will find an agricultural museum under construction. There are machines here, but not the ones you might think you have bought.

Machines sold by scammers under the name Antha van Hienen

If you come across large machines, such as Fendt tractors, combines or excavators, sold by Antha van Hienen, be warned, these are in all likelihood the scammers abusing Antha van Hienen's name.

Antha van Hienen used to make mainly smaller machines, like the ones we still sell today, which were intended for arable farming, such as box tilters and dosing bunkers. So the large and expensive machines that the scammers behind Antha van Hienen now sell, often on machine marketplaces and Facebook, have nothing to do with the "real" Antha van hienen.

Antha van Hienen's real machines

The former shareholders and companies like Duijndam Machines selling Antha van Hienen equipment have nothing to do with these scammers. Good to know is that Antha van Hienen B.V. mainly made machines for flower bulbs and arable farming, such as box tilters, dosing bunkers, conveyor belts and shaker screens. 

So do NOT buy from a company pretending to be Antha van Hienen and especially do not make down payments!
