Väderstad expands its US footprint
Published on 04 February 2022
Väderstad, a global leader in tillage, seeding and planting technology, will expand its North American operations with the construction of a new multi-functional facility in North Dakota, USA.
Väderstad acquired the U.S. manufacturer, AGCO-AMITY, last year and has since integrated the Wil-Rich, Wishek and Concord ranges into its portfolio. The new facility will be located beside the existing manufacturing facility, parts warehouse and research and development facility at Wahpeton. This 4090 square metre complex will include office space for 80 employees, two training classrooms, a media theatre and a 1000 square metre exhibition hall to host dealer and technician training, customer clinics and public events.
Established in 1962, Väderstad is a global leader in cultivation and seeding technology, with emphasis on delivering sound agronomic outcomes. Its range, which includes Seed Hawk and Tempo precision planters and TopDown cultivators, are sold in 40 countries throughout the world. Based in Sweden, the family-owned company employs more than 1900 people.
Väderstad machinery is distributed in Australia by Landpower via selected CLAAS Harvest Centres and independent dealerships.
