In separate press releases, both companies announced partnerships with MacDon Industries concerning the manufacturing and distribution of co-branded combine draper headers.
AEM reported that industry leader Gary MacDonald, a former top executive with MacDon Industries and part of the MacDonald family that owned the company before it was sold to Linamar Corporation, has passed away.
Ken Ross, group president of MacDon, has decided to retire effective March 31, 2021. Ken joined MacDon 14 years ago as vice president of operations and has been instrumental in the successful development and growth of MacDon through these years.
Growing interest in the use of draper headers on combines in Europe has prompted MacDon Industries to set up a distribution and after-sales service office in Germany.
