Grimme takes over sugar beet manufacturer Kleine

Damme, November-12, 2012 - Effective from November 15, 2012 Grimme has taken over the traditional sugar beet manufacturer Kleine in Salzkotten and enables the traditional family owned Grimme company, well known around the world as specialist for potatoes, to also be a complete line manufacurer in the sugar beet section, 10 years after they started sugar beet harvesting manufacturing.
 
"The machine range of the sugar beet loading and cleaning technology from the Franz Kleine Vertriebs & Engineering GmbH, which reported financial problems this summer, is the ideal completion of the Grimme sugar beet technology" declares Franz Grimme of his latest activity in Salzkotten, 150 km away from the headquarter in Damme.

The 3-axle Grimme sugar beet harvester REXOR 630, with its 30 t bunker capacity and the reworked Kleine BeetLiner Compact self-propelled topper harvester with 12 t buffer bunker enlarge the product range to the widest program of sugar beet technology.

The strength and activities of both companies combine to-gether with the maximum of the core workers in Salzkotten today increases the already successful market position of  Grimme sugar beet technology.

"We will manage it together as the loyal Kleine customer has a well known reliable and future oriented partner especially with the after sales section of Grimme in this new market group", said Roland Kratz, general sales manager of the sugar beet machinery division and member of the executive management.
