Austrian machinery manufacturer Pottinger has increased the production output of its rake and round baler facility at St. Georgen, with an additional 7,900m² building that includes a €33 million ($58.5m) investment in a new paint shop.

Said to offer an automotive quality paint finish, the system uses cathodic dip priming and powder coating, with no solvents being used in the mixing and application of the finishes.
