Väderstad Expands Factory and Increases Capacity to 10,000 Machines

 

In the face of current challenges troubling the agricultural sector—declining grain prices, elevated interest rates, and heightened uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions and climate fluctuations—Väderstad remains committed in its confidence for the future. Recognizing the enduring potential of agriculture and its pivotal role, the company embarked on this expansion initiative in 2023, aligning with its long-term growth objectives.

 

Henrik Gilstring, CEO of Väderstad Group, asserts,

– The continued expansion of our Väderstad factory mirrors our commitment to long-term growth objectives, benefiting our valued customers, partners and facilitating job creation. Furthermore, it streamlines our production processes, ensuring greater efficiency.

With construction now concluded, efforts shift towards outfitting the expanded premises with advanced assembly lines for the Proceed and Tempo product lines, alongside a cutting-edge paintwork station, we plan to be fully operational in 2025.

 

Mikael Peiponen, Senior Vice President of Order to Delivery at Väderstad, highlights,

– In recent years, we've introduced innovative products like the Proceed Concept and Seed Hawk 600-900C, catering to European and international markets. With the expansion, we're poised to meet burgeoning demand for these and other offerings.

Väderstad's facility serves as a key production hub for global markets, excluding North America, where production primarily centres on facilities in Langbank, Canada and Wahpeton, USA.

 

With the completion of this expansion, the Väderstad site boasts an impressive total production area of approximately 70,000 square meters, affirming the company's unwavering commitment to innovation and growth.
