JLG signs up for European telehandler distribution

JLG has signed an agreement with SAME Deutz-Fahr Group (SDFG) for the distribution rights of its European agricultural telehandler line, the designs of which JLG purchased from the Belgium-based company Fadeur in August last year.

The agreement will see JLG and SDFG cooperate with the intent of entering into a long-term OEM agreement, under which JLG will supply the new line of compact telehandlers to the European agricultural market sector through SDFG’s distributor network.

The telehandlers will be branded with SDFG’s trademarks and will be fitted with Deutz engines. Both companies expect the first products under the agreement to be available on the market by the end of 2004.
