Lemken has acquired South African company Equalizer, which manufactures seed drills in widths of up to 24m and precision planters up to 36 rows. Founded in cape Town in 2000, the family business, which employs around 180 people, claims to be the market leader with precision seeders in South Africa. Australia is the most important export market. Lemken CEO Anthony van der Ley believes that the Equalizer portfolio perfectly complements the Lemken seed drill segment. "There is no overlap in our portfolios," he comments. "Equalizer offers solutions for customers and markets that Lemken has not been able to serve so far. In terms of our growth strategy, the Equalizer planters and seeders - also in combination with air carts - close a current gap in our product range."
