The previous dealer, Interexport, has sold its entire agricultural machinery division to the German Schröder Group. All employees, outlets and existing business relationships will remain with the new company, Inter Agrar. Ajda Brazda Mlakar will take over as the new Managing Director.
“We remain true to our core values in the interests of our customers: quality, reliability, and customer focus will also be at the heart of our business at Inter Agrar,” says Ajda Brazda Mlakar, emphasizing the company's continued role as a reliable partner for farmers. “Our sales and service network will continue to ensure excellent support for all existing and future customers.”
All past and current business relationships and contracts will remain in place. Machine orders will be handled reliably and on time as usual.
“We are delighted to announce that we can offer a distribution network for farmers and contractors in Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia through Inter Agrar. Together with the existing and motivated workforce, we will continue to offer excellent service to our customers in the future, says Dennis Schöder, Managing Director of the Schröder Group. “With Inter Agrar, we are now starting a new chapter with outstanding products, open communication, and mutual trust, as we have always practiced in our family business.”
The Schöder Group has been a reliable partner to farmers for over 200 years. The company has now 32 locations and around 1,000 employees in Germany and Europe.
“Schröder and Fendt have been working together for more than 60 years. Our companies have grown together and continuously professionalized in the interests of our customers so that we can offer the products and services they want,” says Dr. Dominic Esser, Director Sales Fendt EME.
Since 1996, Schröder has also been offering Fendt products in Romania through its subsidiary MEWI. “Our partner Schröder has already successfully proven that the same high-quality that customers can expect in Germany can also be guaranteed internationally. We look forward to a successful future collaboration with Inter Agrar.”
From September 1st, 2025, Inter Agrar will be the exclusive distributor of Fendt tractors, combine harvesters, balers, mowers, tedders, and forage harvesters, as well as sprayers in Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia.
Valtra has collaborated with the Inter Agrar team for a decade, achieving remarkable and consistent business growth. The expansion of Valtra in these markets demonstrates that with the right people, commitment, and expertise, we can successfully grow our business together. Valtra is confident in delivering farmer-focused solutions for the Balkan markets and continuing to expand our brand, in line with our 2030 growth strategy.
