Argo Tractors from Italy, manufacturer of Landini, McCormick and Valpadana, opened their brand new facility in Burgoberbach, Germany. Thus, the company meets with the demands of modern agriculture and their customers in Germany and Austria.

A modern showroom, advanced training centre, event area, an innovative Competence Centre and a test field for dynamic demonstrations – all on a total area of 13,000 square metres in the industrial park in Burgoberbach, Bavaria. These are the spaces, the figures and the potential of the new premises of Argo Tractors Deutschland & Osterreich, the German branch of Argo Tractors, which was officially inaugurated on March 24 in the presence of local authorities. Alongside the senior management of Argo Tractors, the mayor of Burgoberbach, Gerhard Rammler and the deputy administrator of the Ansbach district, Hans Henninger, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony. They emphasised that the Italian group’s new site is also strategic for the development of the Burgoberbach industrial centre and a source of synergies with Europe’s largest secondary and tertiary agricultural training centre in neighbouring Triesdorf.

“Today is an important day for the group”, underlined Günter Ordnung, General Manager of Argo Tractors Deutschland & Osterreich, at the ceremony. The new facility has already been operational for a few weeks and allows us to give more substance to our growth strategy in the German and Austrian markets, providing valuable support to the dealer network, which we aim to expand further, while ensuring an increasingly effective response to the needs of established and future customers. To this end, we have also created an innovative Competence Centre, matching a spare parts warehouse and specialist workshop, a rental centre and second-hand sales: thanks to this, we can comprehensively and promptly respond to all market requirements”.

Simeone Morra, Corporate Business Director of Argo Tractors, emphasised:

“Even in this extremely complex historical period for the world community, our group has not stopped, continuing to grow thanks to a strong, solid team and a forward-thinking Corporate strategy that, from the Villamarciel site in Spain to the Vaulx-Milieu site in France and this one in Germany, finds in our new modern and innovative branches an excelent tool for consolidation and development. With the Burgoberbach site, we are enthusiastically re-launching our presence in the most important European market, the Austrian-German one, offering dealers and customers our products and services, thanks to our continuous investments in research and development, technological innovation and Digital Transformation”.
