In 2012, the company acquired Aircon GmbH and subsequently renamed it as Lely Aircon B.V. [7]

At the end of 2016, Lely ceased tipper production in Waldstetten. [8]

In March 2017, the sale of the forage harvesting technology division with the plants in Waldstetten (loader wagons) and Wolfenbüttel (baling presses) to AGCO was announced. [9]
