THE POSITION HAS NOW BEEN FILLED.

Stanhay joined our US distributors, Solex Corporation, in Tulare, California for this year’s World Ag Expo.

The under-development Nine metering unit was warmly welcomed and growers were excited about the many benefits that will be on offer with this latest innovation. The Stanhay 870 continues to be the market leader in the Californian Salad industry with the Star also proving very popular.

Despite the freezing temperatures the visitors showed up in force to this year’s LAMMA show.

It was a great opportunity to catch up with our customers and unveil our latest developments. Both the new STA6K frame and the new electric drive developments saw plenty of attention. Thanks to all who visited the stand.

Stanhay will be exhibiting at LAMMA 2013 on Wednesday January 16th and Thursday January 17th at the Newark and Nottinghamshire Showground, Notts, UK.

We will be presenting some of our latest developments including a brand new folding drill. We look forward to seeing you there.

John Evans and Niall Wordsworth, Directors of Stanhay Webb closed the first years trading of the new Stanhay Webb on 31st March 2011. 

It has been tough, exciting but incredibly rewarding they both agreed. This last year, we have achieved more than we expected, both in terms of turnover and operational changes and improvements and that's due to a combination of our suppliers commitments to our plans, the Stanhay Webb team and importantly the support of our customer and distributors.

The sales response has been amazing they both agreed. 'Selling in the current global economy is tough, but our distributors have really gone for it over the last 12 months', said Niall. ' John and I were convinced Stanhay had a great product and the market has reacted to our belief, thanks again to our customers for this last year, but lets keep on going', said Niall.
