Demand for drills leads to record sales figures

摘要

Company boss Michael Horsch is confident that 2011 net sales will top pound160m, a 10% increase on the previous record results of2008. He suggests this is clear proof of the positive state of agriculture. "Farmers have realised they have not really been affected by the financial crisis of the past two years, and are now starting to invest in new kit," he says.More than 70% of Horsch production is exported, with demand from Russia and Kazakhstan continuing to grow. France is another vital market that now takes almost as many Horsch machines as Germany.
