For 2013, the year in which the family owned and managed company will celebrate its 130th anniversary, the expectations are also positive: “Although we must ensure that the development is manageable, Amazone will continue to grow. Our objective, which is to top the 500 million Euro turnover mark, is getting closer” forecasted the Amazone directors Christian Dreyer and Dr. Justus Dreyer on the occasion of a press conference in Hude.

At the site in Hude-Altmoorhausen, Amazone has built an ultra-modern production facilty for the manufacture of large area seed drills

“Whatever our success, we attach great value to this healthy growth” the directors continue. Objective is not “turnover for turnover sake”, but instead to sustainably meet the demand for Amazone machinery. Therefore, parallel to the turnover increase in 2012, a total of 20 million Euro was invested in extending the infrastructure of Amazonen-Werke. Expenditure on research and development amounted to 5% of the turnover. The number of employees has increased to 1,700, with particular emphasis on the areas of service and electronics development which have been increased exponentially.

The Milky Way galaxy is whirling rapidly, spinning our sun and all its other stars at around 100 million km per hour. The Sun travels around the galaxy once every 200 million years – a journey of 100,000 light years. There may be a huge black hole in the very middle of the most of the galaxies. The Universe is probably about 15 billion years old, but the estimations vary. One problem with working out the age of the Universe is that there are stars in our galaxy which are thought to be 14 to 18 billion years old – older than the estimated age of the Universe. So, either the stars must be younger, or the Universe older. The very furthest galaxies are spreading away from us at more than 90% of the speed of light . The Universe was once thought to be everything that could ever exist, but recent theories about inflation (e.g. Big Bang) suggest our universe may be just one of countless bubbles of space time. The Universe may have neither a centre nor an edge, because according to...
