Friday, out loading day

Greetings from the factory in Estonia where the winter has started to arrive. Today it is really cold and snow is in the air. As it is Friday today that means out loading day. This picture was taken in the morning but right now the yard is filled with trucks that will be loaded with products from Fors MW and then leave for different places all over Europe.

Let us at the same wish all of you a great weekend!

Agromek, Day three of five!

Day three of five at the large Danish agricultural exhibition Agromek. The reports from the show talks about visitors, from Denmark and Germany as well as Sweden, but especially the reports speak off a really huge interest in BIGAB hook lift trailers. Helms, our distributor in Denmark expects more business as a result of your interest. We thank for the report from the fair and wish the best of luck for the days remaining and the deals afterwards!

Great sales of FARMA cranes

Every year FARMA sells thousands of our popular cranes without any trailer to customers all over the world. Cranes are easy to load in volume and therefore a great buy. Over the years we see an increase in sales of our larger cranes size 7,0 and 8,5. Great cranes at a very affordable price. Did you for example know that our C 7,0 crane lifts 720kg on full reach?

Lechner exhibition, Germany!

Every year our German dealer Lechner makes a demonstration day to show the products that he sells. This year it was on the 9^th of November. It is really nice to see this company on yearly bases and see how they develop.

The first time I took part in the demonstration day was 8 years ago when they had only a small workshop. Now it has grown into workshops, sales rooms and a really nice stock hall with a yard full of products. It is really nice to see the development of this successful company!

At the show however they had only one FARMA trailer to show the customer but there were a good reason for it. The sold several FARMA trailers the week before and the customer could not wait since the forestry job had to be done.

Like in the years before it was a pleasure to work with the Lechner team together.

A big thanks to family Lechner.

Best Regards

Everyone is talking about it – The BIGAB tip trailer T 8

The BIGAB tip trailer was introduced to the market at the end of May this year and was set into production in September. Sales have picked up really nicely and it seems as if we might have a real success with this tipper. The response from the shows has also been great. Customers responds to a worked through trailer. The adjustable bogie along with the adjustable drawbar, perfect for wheeled excavators has created quite a buzz on the market. Here are some photos from production last week of a series of BIGAB T8.

Meet a friend of ours, Alstor!

The ALSTOR 8x8 is a small, nimble off-road machine that can go anywhere in the forest. We were approached by Alstor many years ago and since then we have been in collaboration due to the Alstor 8x8 being equipped with a FARMA crane.

Last year we upgraded the crane on the Alstor to a brand new C 4,2 crane with extension and a linkage system along with the new and stronger turn house size 5.

Alstor is a company that has been excellent in marketing their products all over the world and therefore they see result in sales, as do we. We are happy for the success for Alstor and look forward of continuing to do prosperous business with them.

The BIGAB movie

More than 350 000 persons have seen this movie of our fantastic BIGAB 15 – 19 doing some incredible work. Pull forward some popcorn and let the movie begin. 

Swedish ambassador to Estonia paid Fors MW a visit

Today we had the great pleasure to welcome the Swedish ambassador to Estonia, Mr. Anders Ljunggren to Fors MW. Everything from the challenges of the company, world and Estonia were discussed as well as participating in the traditional factory tour. We thank the ambassador for his visit and look forward of working together for the common good in the Swedish – Estonian relations.

Greetings from Paraguay!

Yesterday we received these great pictures from Paraguay. Over the years we have sold a number of cranes with 3 – point frame to Paraguay along with a bunch of grapples. The trailer in the picture is made by the customer himself, but the FARMA crane comes all the way from Europe. We look forward of prospering business in South America.

A container solution for FARMA T6

Some weeks ago we recieved some really nice pictures from our Russian dealer MTZ Centr that makes their own solution for a container solution for the smallest FARMA trailer T6. With the help of the crane they can easily change the forestry trailer into something used for other transport needs. 

Anders Söreke in Sweden owns a BIGAB, a FARMA, a NIAB…

…and a grapple bucket, a grapple and last but not least an Energy brush cutter BC 18. I think that we can almost say that is one of our greatest customers. We visited him at his farm last Friday for a talk and to take some photos for a new add that will be advertised on the Swedish market. When the ad is ready we will of course be back here with an update on the story behind one of our greatest customers. 

Time for a real homepage makeover!

Last week we meet with our homepage supplier to start up the project of updating and restructuring the homepage. We had some really nice talks and I can promise a homepage that so far no other producer in our field of business can present. The goal is to present the new page at the forestry fair in Jönköping, Sweden in June of next year.

Greetings from Switzerland!

We have some really great dealers in Switzerland. This time it is our dealer Wildtech GmbH that has sent us some really nice photos. Want to learn more about this dealer?

A day for NIAB training

Last week our aftermarket team took some hours to head for the forest to have some NIAB demonstration with our Swedish sales team. NIAB is a really nice product for forestry thinning but one that needs to be dealt with correctly and one that when sold, needs to be introduced to the customer who bought it, in a proper way. The hours in the forest was spent on everything from driving the processor to how it is built and works. A great educational day for everyone at the aftermarket as well as our sales team.
