Combining track and tyre
While the last fifty years has seen massive evolution and development of the humble tractor tyre, the last two decades have seen its weaknesses addressed with the arrival of rubber track systems.
The prestigious awards programme drives best practice, celebrates and showcases the very best of the New Zealand dairy industry, with entrants connecting, learning and growing as individuals across the three categories of Dairy Trainees, Dairy Managers and Share Farmers, while farm owners are also recognised through the Fonterra Responsible Dairying Award.
NZDIA general manager Robin Congdon says organisers are delighted to welcome Trelleborg into its family of national sponsors and partners.
“They are keen to get involved, build their brand in rural communities and help us drive improvements in dairy farming. I was intrigued to find out more about the Trelleborg brand and now know they are a substantial global organisation offering many solutions in the agricultural industry as well as many others.”
Back in 2018, Trelleborg acquired New Zealand tyre distributor TRS Tyre and Wheel Ltd, who are headquartered in Whanganui and also distributes the well-known Mitas brand in the dairy farming industry, with fitments for tractors and implements.
“Trelleborg is the market leader in agricultural tyres and through technology and innovative products, this allows us to support farmers by increasing their productivity and reducing operating costs,” says Mark Prentice national sales manager for TRS.
