The Turkish division of Yanmar has completed the acquisition of Solis Traktör Sanayi from International Tractor Limited (ITL).
Yanmar has cooperated with ITL (part of the Indian Sonalika Group) since 2005. The acquisition gives Yanmar a tractor plant at Izmir in Turkey, allowing it to further strengthen its position in the country.
The plant currently produces a range of Sonalika-powered four-pot tractors up to 90hp. Yanmar says it will continue to produce a Solis branded tractor, but in the future plans to produce Yanmar tractors at the Turkish plant.
