Cowra-based agricultural machinery manufacturer, K-Line Ag, marked its 30th anniversary with a special Open Day event on Wednesday, 22nd February 2023. The company, founded by the Larsen family in 1993, has become a significant player in the Australian agricultural market, offering a broad range of efficient tillage machinery. The Open Day, held at the company's manufacturing facility in Cowra, NSW, was an opportunity for dealers, customers, and media to explore the premises and gain insights into the brand's history, products, and commitment to Australian manufacturing.

K-Line Ag's journey began 30 years ago when the Larsen family identified a gap in the market for more diverse and efficient tillage equipment. The company's original philosophy of designing, engineering, and manufacturing their products in Australia has been preserved to this day.

In 2019, CNH Industrial acquired K-Line Ag, and since then, the company's Case IH and New Holland dealerships have been selling the brand's machinery across Australia and in some of the world's largest agricultural markets. The acquisition expanded K-Line Ag's reach and strengthened its commitment to delivering high-quality tillage equipment to a global customer base.
