Case IH launches new Tier 3 Puma Tractor at Fieldays
Case IH is expanding its popular Puma range in New Zealand, with a new model that was released at Fieldays.
At the same time, the company is celebrating its 25th year in New Zealand and – at a global level – its 60th year in operation.
Väderstad provides is family owned, with its head office located in Väderstad, Sweden. The company has 1,900 employees, a turnover of €420m and is represented in 40 countries.
“Väderstad is proud to re-confirm our commitment to this partnership and longstanding relationship with Norwood. Twenty five years is a significant milestone for any business relationship,” says Chris Bettschen, Väderstad regional manager NZ/AU.
Meanwhile, Rod Gardner Norwood brand leader says his company is dedicated to supporting the Väderstad brand and its customers in New Zealand.
“Our own aspirations mirror Väderstad’s unwavering focus on product quality and continual innovation to meet the needs of New Zealand farmers and contractors.”
As well as Väderstad’s machines making a mark on the NZ farming landscape, the country has also made a mark on Väderstad. An example is the NZA spring tine cultivator, which was introduced in 1997 and was so successful that Väderstad included NZ in the machine’s name. The cultivator is still in production today and continues to make its mark on the New Zealand arable farming landscape.
Other Väderstad products distributed by Norwood include: the Tempo precision planter, the Rapid seed drill and the TopDown cultivator.
Both Bettschen and Gardner say “watch this space” for news about the 25th anniversary celebrations, which will be announced later in the year.
