Nice FARMA pictures from Estonia!

A couple of weeks ago I received these really nice photos from one of our clients in Estonia. The photos are of a CT 3,8 – 6 that are used regularly at their farm. We love to see all of these photos that you send us. Keep sending and we will keep posting!

An update from Austria

A couple of weeks ago we received these photos from Austria on a Reform Muli. It looks fantastic however please note that the top seat has been developed in Austria and is not something that Fors MW provide. Fors MW has taken the decision not to provide such solutions to the market due to the risks involved. Even though it is a really nice carriage!

Production development meeting BIGAB

Last week we sat down for a couple of really interesting hours to discuss the future of BIGAB hook lift systems and its potential applications. It was a basic brain storm meeting, with the purpose of such, since even though we have a lot lying in pipeline for BIGAB in regards of development, we from time to time take those brain storm meetings to let discussion run high and low. A great meeting that put a smile on our faces. We will tell you more when the time is ready. 

(The BIGAB on the picture might not have anything to do with the discussion taking part)

Swedish magazines paid us a visit!

Yesterday three of Sweden’s largest newspapers in regard of agriculture, forestry and contracting paid us a visit at the factory in Estonia. During a couple of hours our CEO Mr. Peter Kastberg took them on a factory tour introducing our Fors MW company as well as our three market leading brand names. We thank for the nice and enjoying visit!

Real cold in Estonia!

As earlier written here at the blog it is now real winter in Estonia. Minus 24 degrees during the days but with clear blue sky, no wind and loads of snow it starts to look like a fairytale. We do love a good winter and you know spring is the next season to arrive in some shorts months.  

1001 blogs!

The blog started in 2008. It has yearly been updated with around 170 blogs per year. That means around 2 – 3 updates per week. We have several thousand that read our blog every week from all over the world and we do understand why. It is a company’s journey. In good times as well as in bad times. We tell it as it is. Now celebrating more than 1000 blogs! But we will keep them coming!

Delivery for Canada!

The Canadian market is growing as we speak. Several deliveries over the past couple of months. This week we have this nice 40 foot container leaving our yard in Estonia destination Canada.  It is fully packed with all kinds of different FARMA equipment. Since being a deal outside Europe it is handled by Tom Belton at Fors MW International. 

Hindersmässan in Sweden is in full swing!

As every year it is time for the annual exhibitor in Kumla, Sweden named Hindermässan. An old fair with ancestry hundreds of years back in time. Our dealer Närkes Traktorcenter has of course opened its doors and puts on a stunning winter machinery show. Fors MW and our products are at place along with our sales representative Anders Svensson. A lot of visitors albeit in really wintry weather. 

FARMA CT 8.5-16 4WD G2 - A really popular forest trailer!

It has soon been a half year since we introduced the T 16 4WD to the market after testing the trailer for two years to see how it behaves in extreme cold as well as extreme heat. It is FARMA largest forest trailer with a 8,5 m long crane. A trailer for the pros. They get what they want. A unique and highly functional design. It´s fun to see that the trailer is received well by the market. It has by far exceeded our market estimates and is currently sold to countries such as Norway, Sweden and England where this trailer was delivered before Christmas.

Out loadings this week

Fors MW have a really nice order stock beginning of 2014. We have a huge interest from many countries which is really nice. It finally seems as if most parts of Europe are coming around as well. This week we have out loadings of ready FARMA, BIGAB and NIAB to countries such as Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Italy, France and actually South Korea. A deal that was made after them paying us a visit at Agritechnica in Hannover in November. Things are moving in the right direction now. 

Winter is finally here!

After a long and warm winter the one we prefer has finally come. Now it is around 15 minus in Estonian and at least 10 cm of snow. The air is clear, there is no wind and the days are filled with sunshine. Of course most of us long for summer, since leaving in the Nordic parts o Europe but winter days such as these are fantastic. 

Yet another nice BIGAB in Holland!

This combination of trailer is sold by Hissink & ZN to a nature organization in Holland which is responsible for the maintenance of nature areas in Holland. The trailer will be used in wetlands. That is the reason for the customer choosing those big wheels, to reduce the pressure on the soil. The trailer is also equipped with steering axle. By so the trailer will limit the damages to the forest and ground protecting plants. The multi flexible BIGAB hook lift trailer will be used for collecting and transporting wood, grass, straw and soil.

Production

Did you know that?

The spirit of the company is founded on the beliefs that it is better to earn less per sold product and sell volumes then to do the opposite. In order to continue to keep pace with the business idea, at the same time increasing turnover and profitability, we need to keep focus on best price, in all areas. That involves constant work in all processes within the Group. Production is constantly being monitored.

Fors MW yearly uses 1400234 kg of steel in our production processes in Saue. China sourcing not accounted for.

Around 172177 m of hoses are used on a yearly bases.

Fors MW has 119 sea containers (10 per month) on a yearly bases at seas to bring sourced goods from overseas to the production facility in Estonia.
