MaterMacc was of course part of the Chinese owned Lovol Arbos Group who back in 2016 set out to increase and modernise the range of implements.
The Pöttinger deal includes the plant at San Vito al Tagliamento in Northern Italy and the 80 staff based there. For now the brand, sales, dealer network and spare parts supply will remain the same, however the new owners say they will contribute their know how to help achieve success in new segments.
“With this acquisition we have taken another step towards a successful future. The innovative products for modern agriculture and the passion of the people at MaterMacc fit perfectly into the world of Pöttinger,” states Gregor Dietachmayr, the speaker of the executive board.
As well as precision planters, MaterMacc has a tine-based no-till drill which has made an appearance at Cereals in the UK as a Tonutti machine. And in recent months MaterMacc has announced a number of machine additions and updates to its cereal drilling equipment.
