The cutting platform and field research technology specialist Zürn Harvesting has acquired a majority stake in the hoeing technology manufacturer Garford Farm Machinery Ltd.
The German family-owned company aims to expand its product range to include the growth market of mechanical weed control and future-oriented camera-assisted machine guidance with individual plant recognition.
“In the future, we want to jointly use our experience and resources in sales, production and development to enable Garford to take further growth steps with its extensive hoeing technology programme. The increasing resistance problems with herbicides will open up new opportunities for mechanical weed control,” is how Managing Director Rolf Zürn of Zürn Harvesting sums up the company’s cooperation.
