OVK vereer sy top verskaffermaatskappye

Voldoening aan sekere sleuteleienskappe en prestasies bring hulle eretafel toe

OVK het onlangs weer spesiaal moeite gedoen om aan sy top verskaffermaatskappye erkenning te gee en vir hulle dankie te sê vir hulle besondere bydrae om die maatskappy ‘n sukses te help maak.  Om in hierdie uitgelese groepie in te pas moet ‘n maatskappy aan sekere kriteria van uitnemendheid voldoen.  OVK het in die algemeen baie goeie verhoudinge met sy verskaffermaatskappye, maar hierdie groepie was ekstra spesiaal en hulle is welverdiend daarvoor erken en vereer.

Peter Askew, Jaco Du Preez en Vlam Barnard van New Holland was ook teenwoordig en het ook gedurende hierdie geleentheid erkenning ontvang namens New Holland.

New Holland T7000 wins "Tractor of the Year" Award at Agritechnica Show

New Holland's T7000 tractor has won the prestigious 'Tractor of the Year' Award at the Agritechnica machinery show. The top prize was complemented by the 'Golden Tractor for Design' Award, recognising the new standards in performance and comfort set by the T7000 range.
The judges, a panel of leading farm machinery journalists and specialists from across Europe, assessed the entries on their design, productivity features and first-hand driving appraisals.
The four-model T7000 range has garnered praise since its launch, thanks to its ‘whisper-quiet' operation and high performance, offering customers high levels of productivity in the 165hp to 210hp sector.
Customers around the world have been impressed by the T7000 tractor's highly specified cab offering a commanding drive position and excellent visibility. A proven Engine Power Management and excellent power-to-weight ratio makes the T7000 models highly maneuverable and productive in all applications, while an extensive development and testing program has ensured rugged reliability and easy maintenance.
"Agritechnica 2007 has been an extraordinary show for us," said Carlo Lambro, Vice President, New Holland Europe. The "Tractor of the Year" and "Golden Tractor for Design"  awards, in addition to the Gold Medal and two Silver Medals awarded by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) to the CR Elevation combine,  are a great recognition of the innovative approach we take to product development and the benefits this has for our customers". .

Wesmeg en New Holland snoer kragte saam tot klante se voordeel

Tydens 'n bekendstellingsdag op 14 Augustus 2007 te Bothaville het Wesmeg en New Holland hulle nuwe gesamentlike strategie aan boere voorgehou. Die oogmerk is om boere by te staan om deur middel van hul omvattende produkreeks en onderdele, en Wesmeg se verspreidingsnetwerk en dienste hul grond se waarde te ontsluit en optimaal te benut. Voorts is beskikbaarheid, pryse en dienste deur middel van hierdie ooreenkoms beduidend aangepas om aan die boer se behoeftes te voldoen.

"Drie maande gelede het Wesmeg en New Holland met samesprekings begin om hierdie konsep - wat 'n eerste in Suid-Afrika is - te onderhandel en te beplan. Wesmeg het veral in die laaste tyd met beskikbaarheid gesukkel en vir New Holland was vervangingsonderdele nog altyd 'n doring in die vlees. Dit was tyd vir hierdie nuwe bedeling waarin die klant se belange die swaarste weeg," het Mario Wolvaardt, Bedryfsbestuurder: Wesmeg, wat as seriemoniemeester tydens die geleentheid opgetree het, gesê.

Schalk Pienaar, Besturende Direkteur: Suidwes Groep, het die teenwoordiges oor Suidwes se waardetoevoegingsbenadering toegelig. Volgens hom word alle aksies - waaronder besigheidsuitbreiding en Swart Ekonomiese Bermagtiging - gemeet aan die waarde wat dit vir die eienaars van die besigheid kan toevoeg, soos toegang tot markte vir hul produkte omdat hulle besigheid met 'n bemagtigde maatskappy doen. Die erns waarmee die Maatskappy die aandeelhouers se belegging in die besigheid bejeën, word weerspieël in die feit dat resultate konsekwent verbeter om opbrengs op aandeelhouersfondse te genereer. Suidwes is allerweë ook bekend as 'n maatskappy wat goeie verhoudings met al sy belanghebbendes voorop stel. Daarom word die beste moontlike transaksie vir klante beding en word dit verder bevestig in die stroom van positiewe kommentaar van klante af wat hul tevredenheid met Suidwes se klantediens te kenne gee.

Tony Sinclair, Uitvoerende Direkteur van Case/New Holland het teenwoordiges ingelig dat New Holland nou sterk deur Invicta ondersteun word. Hierdie versterking van die Maatskappy en die ondersteuning wat Suidwes verleen, beteken dat klante binne Suidwes se gebied drie groot voordele het, naamlik 'n uitgebreide verspreidingsnetwerk, verhoogde beskikbaarheid van produkte en verbeterde pryse. Voorts word 'n oop deur-beleid gehandhaaf om te verseker dat uitmuntende klantediens die standaardpraktyk in besigheidstranskasies is. Peter Askew, Besturende Direkteur van New Holland SA, het bygevoeg dat die afstand na die klant nou uitermate verkort is om vinnige besluitneming in die hand te werk en 'n bydrae te lewer om die boer se belegging in die produk uit te bou. Ben Grobler, Direkteur: Naverkopediens van New Holland SA, het die voordele wat gemelde onderhandelinge en die uitvloeisels daarvan vir die Suidwes-klant inhou, soos volg uitgespel:

Die volgende veranderinge is binne New Holland aangebring om 'n beter diens aan die boer te lewer:

Verskeie promosies is tot ons klante se voordeel beding:

Hy het voorts gesê dat boere wat nie tevrede is met die prys en diens wat hulle kry nie, hom gerus kan skakel.

Mario Wolvaardt het hierna ‘n kort oorsig oor die dienste binne Suidwes se Bedryfsondersteuningsdienste wat by Wesmeg se dienste aansluit, gegee. Presisieboerdery stel boere immers in staat om beheer van hul boerderye se prestasie te neem deur middel van meting en sodoende prestasie te optimaliseer. ‘n Intydse voedingsbestuursproduk is ook in proses en behoort binnekort aan boere bekendgestel te word.

Na die formele toesprake is boere in groepe deur New Holland-personeel deur die persele geneem om aan hulle ‘n meer akkurate beeld van beskikbare produkte en dienste te gee. Oudergewoonte het almal daarna gesellig saamverkeer en die skaapbraai wat keurig deur ‘n plaaslike gasvryheidsbesigheid voorgesit is, geniet.

Op hierdie wyse poog Suidwes om sy klante en aandeelhouers te ondersteun om die onderliggende waarde van hul grond te ontsluit deur saam met hulle en New Holland na die hoogste doelwit te reik deur hul vertroue op blou te bou soos uitgedruk in die woorde: Go for blue, reach for the sky.

Byskrifte vir foto’s:

Na maande van beplanning en onderhandeling is alles gereed om Wesmeg en New Holland se nuwe strategie aan boere voor te hou.

Almal was in ‘n gemoedelike stemming en opgewonde om te hoor wat die nuwe bedeling vir klante inhou.

Omring deur New Holland-trekkers en in diepe konsentrasie tydens die formele aanbiedings.

Die sprekers was (v.l.n.r.): Schalk Pienaar (Besturende Direkteur: Suidwes Groep), Tony Sinclair (Uitvoerende Direkteur: Case/New Holland), Ben Grobler (Direkteur: Naverkopediens), Peter Askew, Besturende Direkteur van New Holland SA en Mario Wolvaardt (Bedryfsbestuurder: Wesmeg).

Versatile MC

Jo-Ann Strauss was the first-ever female conference MC for the annual New Holland SA dealer conference held at the Vaal Riviera in October. It was a brave and audacious move and from all accounts, a very successful conference and Jo-Ann was a hit. She won their hearts when she shared her newfound knowledge of farming.

"I know you're worried about having a female MC for an agricultural conference, but don't worry... I have been researching farming and I have learnt a lot. Like do you know it takes 40 pigs to make 2000 sausages? It's amazing what you can teach them."

Kennis en ondervinding by Warmbad-onderdele

By Warmbad-onderdele is dit nou Henk kwadraat.  Henk Botha en Henk Viljoen is ervare onderdele-manne.  Tussen hulle twee en die kennis wat John Moshidi en Jerry Moshidi het is daar niks wat die span nie van onderdele weet nie.

Henk Botha is onlangs van Nylstroom na Warmbad as onderdelebestuurder oorgeplaas.  Hoewel hy amptelik ‘n personeellid van Warmbad is, sien hy ook na Nylstroom om.  Dit vra noukeurige beplanning en tydsbestuur om sake by albei takke glad te laat verloop.

Henk Viljoen is onlangs van Roedtan-handelstak oorgeplaas, maar was voorheen lank by Warmbad-onderdele betrokke.  Selfs terwyl hy in Handel was, het hy kontak met Onderdele behou en op hoogte gebly.  Hy het dus as’t ware sedert 1982 in die onderdelebedryf gewerk.  Hoewel baie verander het terwyl hy in Handel was, is die basiese beginsels nog dieselfde. 

Henk Botha was gewillig om die skuif Warmbad toe te maak, want dit is waar NTK hom nodig het.  Nou staan sy deur te alle tye vir die klante oop en nooi hy hulle hartlik uit om onderdele se diens op die proef te stel.  

Enigiets wat ’n klant nodig het, kan Henk en Henk binne ’n dag in die hande kry.  Hulle gaan uit hul pad om te verseker dat elke klant tevrede daar uitstap.  Met hierdie span is daar geen tekort aan ondervinding en kennis nie.  Boonop is hulle op diens ingestel.  - Article supplied by SA Co-op Volume 25 No 6 August / September 2008

 

Die span van Warmbad-onderdele staan gereed om hul klante te help: Anna Mmababe, Henk Botha, Cecilia van den Berg, Henk Viljoen, John Moshidi en Jerry Moshidi.  

 

 

NTK has relaunched their business during the week of 13 - 17 October 2008. 

A ladies clothing range has also been launched.

SA Rates with the best

Extract out of “The Zululand Observer, May 30, 2008

“According to a study carried out by Johannesburg based “Who Owns Whom’, SA agriculture can hold its head high.
“Over the last 14 years, agriculture has evolved from a highly regulated and protected industry to one free from all constraints, unsubsidised by government and capable of competing with the best in the world.

“This is the upbeat finding of a research study, which credits the Marketing of Agricultural Products Act of 1996 as having dramatically changed agricultural marketing in the country.

“This was achieved by closing agricultural marketing boards, phasing out certain import and export controls, eliminating subsidies and introducing import tariffs to protect South African farming from unfair international competition.”

“What a privilege it is to be part of this Agricultural Supplement, which I am sure will become ‘must read’ supplement to the Zululand Observer.

“I for one look forward to putting together a regular feature of news and views from all the farming communities from Pongola and Makhathini to Empangeni and Melmoth.

“This week we were invited to display our wares at the ‘Co-operative Indaba’ at the ZCBF Showgrounds in Richards Bay.

“For our part the show was a huge success, giving us the opportunity to meet with the co-op representatives from all over KZN that we normally wouldn’t see and were able to speak to various heads of government departments, including the MEC for Agriculture and Environmental Affairs, Mtholephi Mthimkhulu.”

NH AG: An exemplary supply chain collaboration

"NH AG: An exemplary supply chain collaboration"—PR (5/28): New Holland delivered two grape harvesters and three tractors to winemaker Sella&Mosca, part of the Campari Group. Vice President NH Ag Europe Carlo Lambro and Europe Marketing Manager Francesco Quaranta handed the keys to Gianni Marzagalli, CEO of Sella&Mosca and Managing Director for the Campari Group’s Wines Business Unit. Marzagalli noted, “The technology offered by New Holland’s wide range of machines for grape harvesting is absolutely unique in the market and capable of satisfying our need for maximum quality production in respect of the splendid Sardinian environment in which we work.” The agreement between Sella&Mosca and New Holland Ag is only the start of a cooperation that will strengthen over the years with the supply of new machines and the shared aims of improving respective leadership."

 

New Holland open first branch

In April New Holland made history and opened its first two branches in Natal – Port Shepstone and Umzinto respectively.  Gavin Joyce who was the Dealer Principle at Barloworld Port Shepstone retired and a farewell was arranged for him and all customers were invited to this occasion.  The management and staff of NHSA wish Gavin well for the future.

Manoj Hariram known to most of the customers as the admin manager was appointed as branch manager at Port Shepstone with responsibility for both outlets.

Illovo Sugar has subsequently placed an order for 8 units to replace some of their existing fleet and the Cane Thumper is becoming a popular implement amongst sugar farmers.

NH2™ hydrogen-powered tractor

The hydrogen-powered NH2™ tractor is a key element and practical demonstration of New Holland’s Energy Independent Farm concept. The first tractor in the world to be powered by hydrogen, the concept is a natural fit with the brand’s Clean Energy Leader position, which saw the company lead the industry with its support for 100% biodiesel without complicated servicing programmes or reduced machine performance.

Based on the popular T6000, the experimental NH2™ tractor replaces the traditional combustion engine with hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Compressed hydrogen drawn from a tank on the tractor reacts in the fuel cell with oxygen, drawn from the air, to produce water and electrons. The electrons are harnessed in the form of an electric current, which drives electric motors to power the tractor’s drivetrain and auxiliary systems.

It is the close commercial reality of the NH2™ tractor that makes the project of huge benefit to the brand’s customers. More than just an idea, the NH2™ tractor is a 106hp working prototype able to perform all the tasks of a T6000 tractor, while operating virtually silently and emitting only heat, vapour and water. The fuel cell generates less heat than an internal combustion engine, offers a consistent output of power and does not produce polluting nitrogen oxides, soot particles or carbon dioxide. The clean operation of the tractor brings added health benefits when working in confined areas, such as animal sheds or greenhouses.

New Holland’s Energy Independent Farm concept offers farmers a positive vision for the future, enabling them to control their business costs while meeting the ever-growing demands to more productive, more efficient and protect the environment
