Having already purchased Bogballe in 2017, the Erhvervsinvest Group has now also acquired Bredal, at the same time announcing that the two well-known Danish fertiliser spreader manufacturers are to be merged.

Bredal CEO Anders Bull Jensen and COO Torben Sørensen will become shareholders in the merged business and will continue in their current roles, noting that the Bogballe and Bredal brands are a good match and will bring a lot of benefits.

“It has made the beginning of a new and exciting journey possible.”

Bogballe management agree, suggesting the merger will bring several opportunities, especially on the market and technology side.

“Agriculture has experienced an increasing digitalisation of farming machinery, so Bredal and Bogballe will be able to further develop their product programmes together,” says Bogballe director Henning Troelsen.

Available in more than 45 countries globally, Bogballe’s mounted fertiliser spreaders are offered in working widths of up to 42m and hopper capacity of up to 5500 litres. Bredal trailed fertiliser and lime spreaders are offered in working widths up to 36m and hopper capacities of up to 19,000 litres, and are sold in more than 25 countries. Combined, the two companies have 109 employees working between three Danish factories. In New Zealand, Bogballe is distributed by the Origin Ag Group based in Cambridge, while Bredal is imported by Ashburtonbased EuroAgri.
