The Erhvervsinvest Group, which bought Bogballe in 2017, has now also acquired Bredal. The two well-known Danish fertiliser spreader manufacturers are to be merged.
Bredal CEO Anders Bull Jensen and COO Torben Sørensen will become shareholders in the merged business and will continue in their current roles. The two men reckon that the decision to sell the company was a tough one, but that Bogballe and Bredal are a good match and they believe that the merger will bring a lot of benefits. “It has made the beginning of a new and exciting journey possible,” comment Mr Jensen and Mr Sørensen.
Bogballe management are also excited for the merger and believes that it will bring several opportunities especially on the market and technology side. ”Agriculture has experienced an increasing digitalisation of farming machinery, so Bredal and Bogballe will be able to further develop their product programmes together,” comments Bogballe director Henning Troelsen.
Available in more than 45 countries, Bogballe’s mounted fertiliser spreaders are offered in working widths of up to 42m and hopper capacity of up to 5,500 litres. Bredal manufactures trailed fertiliser and lime spreaders in working widths up to 36m and hopper capacities of up to 19,000 litres. They are sold in more than 25 countries. Combined, the two companies 109 employees are split between three Danish factories.
