Fendt at the Agritechnica 2009 – expectations clearly exceeded
The Agritechnica 2009 has closed its gates. Fendt is exceptionally pleased with the results of the world's leading agricultural machinery exhibition: some 350,000 visitors viewed the tractors, combines and balers “Made by Fendt” in Hall 9 during the course of the past week.
“The Agritechnica is an important mood barometer for us. Due to the current situation in agriculture and the global financial circumstances, we went to Hanover with subdued expectations. Fortunately, during the many talks we had with customers and sales partners, we recognised that the industry has bottomed out and is starting to recover,” said Peter-Josef Paffen, Vice President and Spokesman for the Fendt Management on the last day of the exhibition, visibly pleased with the course of the show.
Fendt presented its complete line-up – from the 200 V/F/P specialty tractor range with 70 hp to the 936 Vario with 360 hp – on 2,200 square metres within the 7,000-square metre AGCO stand in Hanover. Also included, of course, were the two completely newly developed ranges, the 200 Vario compact all-rounder and the new 800 Vario with up to 280 hp. The new electronics generation from Fendt, the Fendt Variotronic, was seen for the first time at the Agritechnica. “We presented the best product palette in Hanover that we have ever had and thus were ahead of our competitors by a great margin.”
