MAM to distribute Case IH in Japan

MAM currently sells and services Case IH products on Hokkaido island. By becoming the distributor for Case IH agricultural machinery in Japan, MAM is poised to expand sales nationwide, including in the Honshu and Kyushu regions where farmland sizes are becoming larger.

Upon signing the agreement, MAM CEO Toru Saito said, “We have been involved in sales and service of Case IH agricultural products for many years, and this distributor agreement is a recognition of our long relationship and MAM’s performance. Being able to distribute one of the world’s most recognized brands across Japan will enhance our market presence and support our long-term business strategy. We will endeavor to meet CNH’s expectations.”

“We are honoured to mark this significant milestone with MAM, one of our longest-standing partners in Japan. This expanded distributorship will unlock new growth opportunities and bring our machinery and precision farming solutions that can enhance efficiency, sustainability, and productivity for farmer communities across Japan,” said Mark Brinn, managing director of CNH for Southeast Asia and Japan.

While the domestic agricultural machinery market is gradually shrinking, there is a shift toward larger machines due to consolidation of farmlands; and market demand for tractors of 100 horsepower or more is growing steadily. Currently, the main Case IH agricultural products offered in Japan are the 100 – 200 horsepower tractors and MAM will continue to collaborate closely with CNH to enhance its product lineup to meet the needs of Japanese farmers.
