Forty dealer companies of the Kverneland industrial group came together at the facility of the AgroCentreLiski Servicing Centre, where a training session was held on how to use Kverneland equipment. Its purpose was to provide practical skills in adjusting seeders.

The Optima is good for sowing the seeds of maize, sugar beet, sunflower and soya.

This summer, the factory will also start manufacturing Rapid mechanical seed drills, Seed Hawk precision seed drills, and Carrier stubble cultivators. In 2012, the production line will be extended with Rapid pneumatic seed drills as well as with new products developed by the Vaderstad Group: Spirit seed drills and the light cost-effective Swift cultivators. In the long-term, the production is going to be expanded to include the full range of Vaderstad agricultural equipment. At present, the daily output of the factory is one Rapid seed drill and two Top Down cultivators. The assembly of each aggregate is performed by 2-3 specialists. The factory currently employs 12 people. At the new enterprise, this number will be increased to 40 workers at least.
