Krone UK has appointed Lancashire-based Metcalf Agricultural Engineers and Essex-based Adcock Agri Ltd as main dealers to strengthen its distribution and support network.
“We pride ourselves on manufacturing forage equipment at the cutting edge of technology and we’re delighted to appoint two dealers who share our dedication to providing the highest level of service and maintenance support and back-up,” Krone UK’s managing director, Marcus Oliver, said of the move.
Metcalf Agricultural Engineers has a dedicated and experienced team able to provide excellent back-up and service on the full range of Krone equipment.
“The Krone brand is already well established in the North-west,” managing director Raymond Metcalf said. “This opportunity represents a new chapter for our family business, and to improve our service we’ve appointed well respected local contractor John Forrest (Fez) to boost our existing sales team.
“We were Lely dealers until the company was bought by Agco, which left a gap in our portfolio,” he added. “We’re very excited by the Krone appointment and proud to represent such a quality brand in the area.”
Adcock Agri’s managing director, Tim Adcock, said his company was perfectly placed to provide Essex forage farmers with arguably the top brand of forage and grassland equipment in the UK, from self-propelled forage harvesters to the smallest tedder. This is backed up with an experienced sales team and four service back-up technicians.
“We’re very pleased to be covering Essex as Krone’s new dealer,” he added. “The brand fits well within our existing franchise portfolio, which includes McCormick, Dieci, NC Trailers and Bomford Turner.
“The Krone brand is well established in our area, but there’s a great opportunity to build market share with new and our existing customers.”
