Acquisition

AFGRI Equipment Australia has successfully completed the acquisition of Greenline Ag business on 1 August 2016. The locations acquired includes Perth, Boyup Brook, Witchcliffe, Wagin, Lake Grace and Pingelly. AFGRI Equipment Australia’s intent is to increase their footprint in Western Australia.  As technology improves and products become more advanced, additional experts in different fields are required. Therefore, economy of scale has become essential and this acquisition will provide AFGRI with the opportunity to align this strategy to their well-established vision of being the preferred supplier of premium agricultural equipment, services and solutions. This acquisition will broaden AFGRI’s range of products and allow them to serve larger markets with agricultural and turf equipment.

The acquisition will mean that AFGRI will operate out of 11 dealerships across WA, with them already servicing the Geraldton, Carnamah, Moora, Dalwallinu and Wongan Hills areas.
