Maames show, Estonia!

Last weekend it was once again time for the great Estonian exhibition Maamess in Tartu region of Estonia. Our fantastic dealer Indrek Pungar från company Maskin Grupp OY took part and showed several trailers. Since the recently sold a T 16 trailer for the Estonian market it was also on display to everyone’s excitement.

We thank Indrek for a great show and wish good luck with the business!

GRACO visit

Today we had the privilege of receiving Mr Jeffrey Johnson, VP and General Manager of EMEA from GRACO in Belgium, together with their Finnish partner Mr Stefan Kevin and the local Graco representative Mr Indrek Ester. Graco is supplying AS FORS MW with all the technical paint equipment in our paint line and we made a considerable update and investment into this 2 years ago with new GRACO equipment. Mr Johnson was given a tour of our facilities and especially to the GRACO equipment installed 2 years ago and we had an interesting and beneficial talk about trends and experiences from  the industrial painting business. We are happy customers to GRACO and I’m sure the team from GRACO felt pleased to see our operations.

Hydraulic Training days in Estonia

That there are always things to learn is something we are working on here at Fors MW. Two weeks ago we had a large number of our sales representatives but also parts of our aftermarket team over in Estonia for a few days to learn more about the characters of hydraulic. Our hydraulic expert Svante Högnert had put together two really interesting das around hydraulics. All participants were also given plenty of time to test the different controls and to have a closer look and understanding of the structure. We thank Svante for a really good set-up for training!

Appearing makes all the difference

Here at Fors MW we operate under the standard that if you are not visible you do not in fact not really exist. Fors MW has for years advertised in a number of European markets. Specifically, in 11 different countries in 9 languages. Every year we spin around about 350 ads through our advertising agency. There is a lot of work but also an integral part of the success we see for our products. For some time now our fine brands are also visible from one of Estonia´s busiest roads too. The one to Pärnu.

The picture shows one of our factory walls in Saue where large banners of our brands now adorn the wall.

The machine show days continues!

One show after another of the machine show dealer days continues and even though one would like to visit them all that would not be possible, but we do try to attend as many as we can. During Friday to Saturday, I visited Västerås and Sunne. Both Pontus Widén and Sunne Bil & Maskin delivered really nice machine show days. It´s a bit like the feeling of Christmas Eve when all of the interested customers get the opportunity to browse around amongst the machines lined up in the yard. Interest was great as usual for our Generation 2 program. Products that invites too many long conversations. It is really nice to hear all talking about them!

It is written much about Fors MW

There is hardly anyone who could miss that it is written quite a lot about Fors MW these days. We do of course think that this is really fun. We welcome these visits and the opportunity to talk about our business as well as a tour of our nice looking factory. This time it is the Finnish newspaper Urakointi but earlier in spring we had nice visits from some of the largest Swedish magazines in the field but look out because more is coming. 

A sharp rise in sales!

It's not just our Generation 2 products that sell really well. FARMA range of accessories is also very popular. In it you will find everything from our affordable energy cutter BC 18 to our wide grapple range of the highest quality at competitive prices. Read more at;

Loads of sunshine over an excellent machine show at Maskin Väst, Karlstad Sweden!

In Sweden we have a saying that the sun always shine in Karlstad and even though not true all the time this time it really did shine from clear blue sky. All of the dealers in Karlstad have one event per year when all of them open their doors for two days with the yards filled with products.

For Maskin Väst, our dealer in Karlstad there were no difference. Their yard was full of machines on display. The interest for our Fors MW products was great. More than 3000 people visited the show during Friday and Saturday. Many thanks to Maskin Väst for a well – organized show!

The picture shows the Maskin Väst seller Anders Johnsen with the customer Jan Ove Jonsson, who just bought a CT 4,6 – 7 with winch.

Nice visit of customers from Sweden at the factory

Yesterday we had a really nice visit from some of our customers in Sweden in the area of Åtvidaberg. They took contact with us a few weeks ago since they own both FARMA and BIGAB products and wanted to see the factory from where their products came. We are always delighted to meet our end users and to have the possibility to listen to their experience of using our products. Svante Högnert our purchaser and Christer Persson our head of design took them for a tour around the factory.

We thank the team from Åtvidaberg a lot for their visit and have a safe journey home!

Machine show at Sundahls Maskin in Växjö, Sweden!

One of our long term dealers Sundahls Maskin in Växjö held their annual spring show this Sunday. It was a show that brought along thousands of visitors. For me being quite new in the company it was great to meet all of our customers who already had a BIGAB or a FARMA. Most of them also really interested in our G2 products. Our FARMA G2 trailer is a real showstopper and one that people do appreciate.

We thank Sundahl for yet another perfect show!

Out on a road trip in Poland!

For a week I and our sales assistant Olga Irbe is out on a road trip in Poland visiting our dealers alongside this huge country. Our first stop was to meet P.P.H.U. "SAMET" where we meet with Mr. Grzegorz Dziejka himself as well as Robert Szczygielski. It was a great meeting with a lot to talk about. They enjoy working with us and our products but see of course, as do we, things to improve. A nice day in Poland in regards both of weather and dealer visit has come to an end tomorrow it is time to move on for the next visit.
