STATEMENT FROM BREDAL AUSTRALIA
As we wrap up another AgQuip, we want to thank everyone who stopped by, called and showed their support.
As AgQuip got underway, we learnt through one of our own dealers that Bredal A/S had appointed Techgrow as its new Australian importer.
As of today, neither the manufacturer nor the new importer has contacted us to formally advise us of this appointment. We have reached out to both parties seeking discussion about the appointment, to date those requests have gone unanswered.
We had no say or involvement in the decision, nor is it a direction or appointment we endorse.
Nine years ago, we purchased the Australian Bredal business from Jørn Ib, who had spent years building the Bredal name and the trust Australian farmers had in the product. We took that responsibility seriously and have carried it forward ever since.
For us, Bredal wasn’t simply a product we sold. It was our business. One product. One passion.
From York, WA, through to our move to Gunnedah NSW, the business has gone from strength to strength. We have just had our strongest year to date, and the year ahead was shaping up to be bigger again.
That doesn’t just happen.
It comes from knowing the product inside and out, understanding Australian conditions and building strong relationships with the farmers and dealers who use it.
Ben has worked with Bredal machinery for more than 20 years. That level of product knowledge and experience takes decades to build. It cannot simply be transferred with an importer appointment.
Overnight, the Bredal business we spent years building was taken out of our hands. We had no part in the transition and have received no payment or compensation for the business, network or goodwill we built.
The consequences for our family, our staff and their families are life-changing.
While the importer may have changed, the knowledge, experience and relationships built over more than 20 years remain right here with our team in Gunnedah.
Service and support have always been at the heart of our business. Our customers come first, and they still will.
We will continue supporting Bredal owners with the parts, product knowledge and technical support we are able to provide. Our priority remains what it has always been: keeping you going with the same people, the same knowledge and the same support.
So, as we finish an AgQuip that started with news we certainly weren’t expecting, to every farmer, dealer, customer and friend who stopped by, called or stood with us, thank you.
To our fiercest competitors and industry peers who have reached out in support, that respect is not lost on us. We appreciate you.
We are still here. The phones will still be answered.
Ben, Georgina & the Bredal Australia team 🇦🇺
