Andreas Loewel, Manager of German Fendt Sales and Distribution.
“I am rejoiced over Fendt’s terrific results in Germany in the first two quarters of 2017.” says Andreas Loewel, Director of the German Sales Division at Fendt. “I’m delighted to see that the tractor market has accomplished a modest recovery in 2017 following several years of contraction. This is largely because of better prices that farmers can attain for their products and hence reinvest. In addition one must bring to attention that our Fendt dealers and Fendt sales team have done an outstanding job for our customers. The result is an excellent indicator for that.”
