Norwood opens new Tasman dealership
Norwood has announced the opening of a new Tasman dealership at Richmond near Nelson next month.
Norwood Hamilton, the importer-retailer’s newest dealership, located in the heart of the Waikato, is focused solely on the KUHN brand.
The only Norwood retail store dedicated to a single brand, it will operate alongside longstanding KUHN outlets Whyteline (based in Paeroa) and Roger Gill Agriculture (based in Huntly).
The unique approach is designed to allow farmers and contractors direct access to dedicated KUHN product experts, says Tim Fanning, executive leader, network operations.
“Our product specialists are factory trained experts who only deal with KUHN equipment, meaning they know how to get the best from the product, alongside being able to quickly diagnose and address any performance issues in the field,” says Tim.
Located on Ossie James Drive, Rukuhia, adjacent to Hamilton Airport, an extensive range of mowers, rakes, tedders, spreaders, and balers are on display and ready for sale.
“It’s been exciting to see this new outlet coming together,” says Deane Hughes, Norwood Hamilton manager.
“We’re fully stocked and prepared for the upcoming season with machines for sale and importantly we are also stocking over 600 lines of genuine KUHN parts. Our customers work hard and so does their equipment, so we’re here to offer the best product knowledge and timely support, something this new approach is designed to deliver.”
