AgVantage UK now imports the full range of machines made by Dutch company Holaras. This includes silage and onion handling equipment, and a wide range of other kit.

The Peterborough-based firm, which already supplies Dewulf, Dezeure and Dammann machinery, is confident that this new partnership will help it to further specialise in the root crop sector, and push further into the silage and biogas industry.

“We stand to supply UK customers with specialist, high end equipment and Holaras manufactures products that fit the same description,” comments Andy Carse, AgVantage managing director.

Founded in 1911, and a registered trademark of Hoopman Machines, in addition to silage packers, spreaders and levellers, and onion haulm toppers and windrowers, Holaras also makes beet buckets, sawdust bedding buckets, slurry mixers and scrapers, and a linkage mounted weighing system.

“Our products are so niche that we felt passionately about appointing a dealer who also strived to promote the uniqueness of the brand,” says Maarten Leune, commercial director of the family-owned business. “We found AgVantage would be able to offer customers the full package, both during sales and after sales.”
