DAIRY LANE SYSTEMS
ONTARIO, CANADA
For over 30 years, Dairy Lane Systems has been a leader in the Canadian dairy industry. DLS has evolved into a jack of all trades. Their roots started as a milking equipment service company and quickly added on a barn design & layout service. Soon after, DLS began supplying and installing headlocks and freestalls. They became a major manure equipment supplier quickly after that. In 2010 they started a biogas division. In 2015 they formed DLS Structures and began erecting steel frame buildings with AgriSteel's frames. In 2021 DLS formed another division called DLS Manufacturing, which fabricates their own milking equipment product line which includes parlor cabinets, stalls, crowd gates, and sort gates. Shortly thereafter, DLS and GEA collaborated in creating a new partnership. GEA became the exclusive provider of the DLS parlor stalls. DLS's manufactured parlor stalls became GEA branded and are now sold across North America exclusively through GEA Dealers. Dairy Lane Systems currently has 5 locations and over 100 employees. They bring a great deal of knowledge not only to the Canadian dairy market, but across the world.
