Joining the Taber and Crossfield locations, High River will continue to place a strong emphasis on in-field service, and service trucks will be in operation from the outset. With the addition of High River, Alberta AG Centre is now able to reach and service customers in Calgary all the way to the U.S. border.
Claas of America and MirTech Harvest Center continue to expand their partnership to deliver excellence in customer service and technical support in the Delta with the success of their newest dealership in Stuttgart, Ark.
The relatively lackluster market for ag equipment worldwide caused Claas revenues to dip 5% in the group’s 2015-16 fiscal year ended Sept. 30, dropping from the previous year’s totals of €3.83 billion ($4 billion) — a small increase over 2014 revenues — to €3.63 billion ($3.79 billion).
A little over a year since licensing the U.S.-developed Shredlage system of processing forage corn, Claas has acquired the technology outright from its owners.
Claas is again drawing on the resources and expertise of European distribution networks to support its presence in North America by reaching a preliminary agreement with one of its leading distributors in Russia to cover an important territory in the U.S.
Based in Friona, Texas, Parmer County Implement will expand its service team and parts distribution to effectively cover the territory, which also includes portions of western Oklahoma.
Despite the worldwide hiatus in agricultural machinery markets, Claas managed to surpass its previous best sales performance in the 2014-15 financial year ended Sept. 30.
