DULUTH, Ga. -- AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, announced today several new locations opened this year in its Production Ag and Rural Lifestyle dealership networks. These new locations will provide farmers and homeowners in the United States and Canada with greater access to sales, services and support of AGCO's popular agriculture equipment brands, including Fendt and Massey Ferguson.
Alliance Ag Opens Expansive Location in Jonesboro, Arkansas
In March, Alliance Ag Equipment opened a new 25,000-square-foot location in Jonesboro, Arkansas, that provides full sales and services for AGCO's Fendt and Massey Ferguson product lines to farmers in the vital northeast Arkansas and southeast Missouri areas. The Jonesboro team includes 20 highly experienced staff members and nine field service trucks to support customers with their traditional ag, precision technologies and application needs. Alliance's other three locations also added popular AGCO product lines to their offerings, including the new Massey Ferguson 500R sprayer and Fendt track tractors.
Alliance Ag owner and President Gordon Bruff said, "We're very thankful to the farmers and retail custom application customers in northeast Arkansas and the Missouri bootheel who have supported us since 2006. They've really embraced the Fendt experience since Alliance became a full-line dealer, and our team in Jonesboro is ready to help them take their operations to the next level of production and profitability."
Canadian Expansion Continues with New AgWest and AgriLink Locations
AGCO's expansion in Canada continued with the opening of two new locations in February that provide full-line Fendt and Massey Ferguson sales and services: AgWest Ltd. opened its fourth location in Russell, Manitoba, and AgriLink Equipment opened its second location in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
New Parts-Only Stores for Convenient, Farmer-First Services
Two AGCO dealers opened Parts-Only locations to provide farmers with convenient access to critical equipment components: Agriteer in Warsaw, Virginia, and Palliser Sales in Brooks, Alberta. Parts-Only stores are one of the five new Smart Network Coverage outlet types developed and implemented as part of AGCO's FarmerCore™ strategy to bring dealership support closer to the farm. These streamlined locations stock an inventory of parts tailored to local markets. Serving as supplemental stores in a hub-and-spoke network, Parts-Only locations expand the coverage of dealer organizations with an efficient, Farmer-First approach to product support.
