Word from the management
The first six months of 2022 have come to an end. A period in which we thought we could leave COVID behind and go full steam ahead. Unfortunately, the events in Eastern Europe have disrupted these plans. Naturally, our thoughts go out to the people living in these areas. Despite the challenges in our supply chain, we were able to fill our production halls and are proud of the performance of our people. Besides the challenges in the supply chain, we were also confronted with huge price increases, which we had to pass on in our selling prices. Everyone has felt the effects of this.
Despite all the challenges, the backlog of our customers remains solid, which gives us confidence for the second half of 2022. As an international player, we are continuously working to expand our sales market. In the second quarter of 2022, a couple of colleagues travelled to South America after intensive preparatory research, where valuable discussions took place. These will certainly continue. We also developed promising plans for new products with our OEM accounts. We can determine that the first part of 2022 has turned out differently than expected, which has demanded a lot from our flexibility. A great challenge awaits us!

High-tech PTO Assembly line
A high-tech assembly line for front PTO systems was put into operation last year. This enables us to guarantee an even higher quality level with an increased production capacity. Workplace safety and job satisfaction are ensured by the use of a number of well thought-out ergonomic aids. By using our own solar energy and using high-quality materials, the production process is environmentally responsible and future-proof.
Zuidberg presents an innovation in PTO technology
With the RL2 transmission, Zuidberg presents an innovation in PTO technology. The transmission combines a very compact design with high-tech solutions that guarantees efficiency, low noise levels, long service life and maximum ease of use. The transferable power of the RL2 is in line with the tractor’s engine performance, which distinguishes it from other PTOs. The RL2 is available for the NewHolland T5, the CASE IH Vestrum and the Steyr Expert with original factory-fitted front linkage. The mounted PTO is fully integrated with the front linkage and the tractor.
