Veteran hedge-and-verge machinery manufacturer Ferri has announced it is widening its implement range to include several heavy-duty forestry-related mulchers. Competition is fierce in the vegetation maintenance sector, with Britain's Alamo group - including Bomford, McConnel, Spearhead and Twose - dominating the UK and European markets. Based in Tamara, Northern Italy, Ferri began life as a blacksmiths in a garage neighbouring the present-day factory. The company - which is incidentally older than the Italian Republic it's based in - has grown to become a worldwide brand that is exported as far as North America and Japan. The Ferri range has been imported into the UK by Cambridgeshire firm Reco for the past 14 years. As with almost all imported machinery, prices are at the mercy of fluctuating exchange rates.
