Founded in 1982, Bocholt-based CAISLEY International GmbH is a globally leading specialist in identification systems for agriculture and industry. Since 1989, the globally oriented company has been managed by Reinhard Nehls.
Its success is built on continuous, practice-oriented product innovations. Following the initial successful PRIMAFLEX and MULTIFLEX product lines, CAISLEY introduced laser-marked ear tags alongside manufacturing its own laser-marking systems. A major milestone in modern livestock identification followed with the ICAR-approved FLEXOPLUS ear tags. The globally renowned FLEXOplusGENO ear tags revolutionized the market, enabling identification and tissue sampling for disease control or genotyping in a single step.
In recent years, electronic livestock identification has become the main focus. The ultra-lightweight FLEXOTRONIC ear tags offer maximum performance. Through close collaboration with farmers, CAISLEY constantly optimizes these technologies to maximize component durability and simplify daily agricultural routines. Finally, the pioneering GENOTRONIC ear tags efficiently combine both electronic identification and tissue sampling into one single product.
Today, the medium-sized company holds an outstanding position in the international market. CAISLEY exports a substantial share of its production to over 70 countries worldwide, combining technical know-how with consistent market orientation for the future.
