CLAAS of America has opened two full-service, long-line MirTech dealerships in Jonesboro, Ark., and Sikeston, Mo. The facilities sell and offer services for the full CLAAS equipment lineup, including combines, tractors, forage harvesters, balers and hay tools.
In July, CLAAS of America and MirTech announced a partnership to grow business in the western Delta region.
“The territory encompassing the Missouri Bootheel and northeastern Arkansas is one of the most productive rice farming regions in the world,” said Eric Raby, CLAAS of America president. He said CLASS is “excited to build the support of farmers in the region with an experienced dealer organization.”
MirTech is a dealer group with locations in Eastern Europe.
McCombie Group, a private investment firm, and SeamLev Investments, its financial partner, have acquired a majority interest in Atlantic Tractor, a network of 11 Deere equipment dealerships, with exclusive rights to market and service the brand’s agriculture and turf products throughout Delaware, eastern Maryland, and southeastern Pennsylvania.
McCombie Group partner Jay Lipsey said Atlantic Tractor will serve as the platform for acquiring other complementary industrial dealerships that can benefit from its scale. “We remain willing and able to entertain discussions with other dealership groups who might have an interest in exploring a sale or merger,” he said.
