Standen Engineering has welcomed two new Europe-based brands into its fold in the last couple of months.
The first of the two brands, AVR, allows Standen to increase its harvester offering by supplying the popular Puma series of self-propelled harvester to the UK market. In addition, Standen can also supply AVR’s range of both in-line and off-set bunker harvesters, filling a gap in the company’s current product range.
Not only does AVR allow Standen to increase its harvester range, it also helps to build its offering in the ‘in- store’ market. AVR receiving hoppers, store loaders, twin conveyors, belt elevators, pick up loaders, and stone and clod separators are now also available from Standen.
Standen has also welcomed VHM products to the UK. VHM offers smart and effective crop handling machinery, designed to make customers’ in-store, grading, line and pack house more efficient. The range includes box and bag fillers, fully automatic box stackers, discharge conveyors, and box rotators. Designed with protection of the harvested crop in mind, all VHM machinery ensures as little impact as possible on your crop as well as ensuring optimum storage conditions.
Commenting on the addition of the two brands, Edward Gilbert, sales and marketing director at Standen, said: “We are very happy to be able to widen our harvester range with the addition of AVR machines. They are very popular on the continent and we are confident that our UK growers will like what they see. We realised that we can offer our UK growers more in terms of crop handling equipment and, adding VHM in combination with AVR in-store crop handling machinery, we are really building a strong portfolio in this area.”
