Lister Saves Supershear Brand: Combining the strengths of two world class brands

摘要

With the backing of Wahl Clipper Corporation, Lister Shearing Equipment Ltd has announced that it has acquired the Supershear brand and assets. Supershear ceased trading earlier this year due to challenging economic factors and a strategic change in direction from its parent company, Tru-Test Group. With over 100 years of servicing the rural communities the Supershear brand is very much part of Australia and New Zealand's sheep shearing history. Often still referred to as 'Cooper-Stewart' or 'Sunbeam' within the industry the story began in 1893 when Stewart & Clark founded the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company and began manufacturing flexible drive shafts and mechanical sheep shearing equipment.
