CNH Industrial Acquires K-Line Ag
As pioneers in Australian agricultural tillage equipment, K-Line Ag has an international reputation for innovation, efficiency and productivity. We are pleased to announce that K-Line Ag has signed an agreement to become part of global leader in agricultural machinery – CNH Industrial.
This is an exciting opportunity for customers, dealers, and both K-Line Ag and CNHI teams. It will give us the potential to expand the reach of K-Line Ag products, while the emphasis by CNH Industrial on agricultural technology and product innovations can only benefit the further development of K-Line Ag’s current product line-up.
It’s also a fantastic recognition for our team, who have worked so hard to establish K-Line Ag as a serious competitor on the global agriculture stage. Our family business is in the very best hands to continue our push for ongoing innovation and expansion for the benefit of all of our customers and dealers.
The Larsen family will also remain heavily involved in strategy and day to day management of the business. The manufacturing of K-Line Ag products like the Speedtiller® will remain in Cowra NSW, Australia (and Grafton, North Dakota, USA), with plans to ramp up production and increase the number of units produced each month.
It will be very much business as usual for both K-Line Ag dealers and staff, and we are committed to making this transition period as smooth as possible.
K-Line Ag Products & Dealer Network
K-Line Ag products will continue to be sold under the K-Line Ag name in Australia and New Zealand through our existing network of Case IH, New Holland and selected independent dealers. In North America, the products will be branded as Case IH for Case IH dealers, while the current K-Line Ag branding will remain the same for all non-Case IH dealers within the US market. Our dealer network is one of our greatest assets and integral to the success of the K-Line Ag business; we are confident that K-Line Ag will go from strength to strength under CNH Industrial’s ownership.
