New Agreement For Distribution Of Spider Mowers 

New Agreement For Distribution Of Spider Mowers

As part of a continuing strategy to strengthen distribution across Europe, Dvorak, the Czech manufacturer of Spider mowers, has appointed Machines4Green of Hooghalen in the Netherlands as their distributor for the BeNeLux region. Machines4Green, which recently changed ownership and is now owned by Roy Gerrits, were previously Spider distributors for the Netherlands, but this new agreement has extended their territory to include Belgium and Luxembourg.

Machines4Green specializes in compact and highly maneuverable equipment for the sustainable green space and agricultural sectors and serves these professional markets with expert guidance and excellent after-sales support.

Commenting on the new agreement, Roy Gerrits said,

“I am an advocate of Spider remote-controlled mowers for two very good reasons; they are good for the operator from a health and safety aspect with less dust, noise and absolutely no vibration issues and they are better for the environment, being lighter than ride-on mowers, more fuel efficient and petrol is a cleaner fuel than diesel.

“We are delighted that Dvorak has faith in our business and has extended our distributorship to include Belgium and Luxembourg. Our business ethos is one of providing quality products and superior service; very similar to that of the Dvorak company. Communication with them is excellent, their marketing is very professional and they are very supportive of me as the new owner of Machines4Green.”

Lubor Hladik, international sales manager at Dvorak said,

“From my point of view, we want a reliable and pro-active distributor network across Europe, with open communication and close cooperation from our business partners. Roy and his team at Machines4Green are totally focused on remote controlled mowing and we both see this as the right approach for Spider.

“Our products have to be demonstrated in a professional and timely manner to potential prospects and with Machines4Green continuing their association with the Spider range, I know that this will definitely happen across their territory. They will also be supported by our customer care specialist, Duke Cermak, a Dutch national who works for us here in the Czech Republic, at shows and demonstrations across the three countries.”
