Editorial Valtra Customer Magazine Editor in chief Jari Pentinmäki, Valtra Oy Ab jari.pentinmaki@valtra.com Edition Hannele Kinnunen, Valtra Inc. hannele.kinnunen@valtra.com Changes in farm machinery manufacturing and distribution continue: it’s part of life, a part with which we have to contend. The most recent changes to affect the Valtra distribution and after sales support network have been the result of the purchase, by Claas, of the Renault tractor business. It has come as no surprise to hear that sales of the Class/Renault tractor are now to be added to the range of products sold by Claas dealers many of whom are, or were, Valtra dealers. So what happens now? Firstly the introduction of Claas tractors into the equation does not mean Valtra will sack all Claas dealers. Far from it. Provided sales of Valtra tractors continue to grow we will give dealers all the support we can. However, as you may be aware, we have already appointed several new dealers in various parts of the country, and there may well be more to come. This is because we feel we are not getting our share of the market and that dealers with a fresh outlook will help improve our market penetration and provide you, our customer, with improved levels of support. Over the past few years the Valtra tractor has come of age in the UK. Farmers, contractors, foresters and many other users now appreciate the qualities of the Valtra machine and the company behind it. We are gratifi ed that both established and up and coming dealers with technical ability, fi nancial stability, good management and the desire to become Valtra dealers have been knocking at our door, asking if they can take on the Valtra franchise – a big difference from the early days of Valmet Tractors UK in 1992 and one of which we intend to take full advantage. And the future? None of us has any guarantees concerning the future. Ideally we would like to continue building the Valtra network in the UK and Ireland from our established dealer base: Appointing new dealers, train- ing staff is an expensive undertaking that interrupts normal business and is not something we under- take lightly. Besides good sales and support networks operate best when there is a high level of continuity. However two things are certain: The Valtra organisation and its products will continue to develop – Valtra has always been a market innovator and that will not change. You can also be confi dent that Valtra will continue to improve the levels of support that owners of our machines deserve. Mark Broom MD Valtra Tractors (UK) Ltd.
