At Agritechnica 2023, Hendrik Decramer, managing director of Dewulf, participated in a "dilemma" segment where he answered true or false to a series of statements about the company and the agricultural machinery industry. Decramer stated that two-row greens are a declining business, though he noted there are still niches where it is viable. He denied that Dewulf would book a turnover of €50 million in the coming financial year, that its biggest competitor is in the same city, that self-driving harvesters are becoming too heavy, and that the Enduro model is mainly taking buyers from the Katweg. He also said the company is not currently developing a robot harvester and that no takeover will be announced soon. Regarding dealers, Decramer said that by 2025, Dewulf's dealers will no longer have tractors in their program, explaining that this would allow dealers focused on specialized machinery to concentrate more on Dewulf's products, though he added that not all dealers with tractors are bad. On the topic of the company's acquisition of Basselier, Decramer described it as a good example of a combined tillage and planting machine, noting that Dewulf acquired the company to gain knowledge and improve upon the original product. He did not use the "joker" to skip any questions, calling them "easy," but suggested that a turnover of €150 million might be a true statement in the future.
