Schouten expects to supply ex stock by late April.
The company, which opened here in 2009, is a subsidiary of Schouten, Netherlands, maker of feedout wagons, slurry systems and other farm and turf care machinery.
Zuidberg Front Line Systems, also a Netherlands-based manufacturer, is prominent in front linkage and PTO systems. In business 30 years, and certified ISO 9001:2000 compliant, it now makes 23,000 linkages and 11,500 PTOs per year for factory or retro fitting.
Schouten Machines managing director Marcel van Hazendonk says “after a thorough period of research and preparation to roll out distribution, it is great to start our partnership.”
“We are pleased to have our own company associated with Zuidberg.
The Zuidberg product line suits our range of products and it gives the opportunity to offer the best frontline systems…. Since we are also the importer of Zuidberg Westtrack this is a completion of our partnership with Zuidberg”.
Zuidberg export manager Gerben Klungel said “the knowledge and experience Schouten Machines has will open opportunity… for Zuidberg products in the New Zealand market.”
