“This partnership served both companies well and supported each company’s global growth over the multi-decade relationship,” John Deere’s global director of construction and forestry sales outside of the Americas Dan Fitzpatrick said.
“Over the course of the next five months Deere and Cable Price will work together to execute a seamless transition of business to John Deere’s newly appointed construction and forestry dealers in New Zealand.”
John Deere plans to announce its new dealers for the New Zealand market in the coming weeks with a full transition of business scheduled for 1 July 2020.
“John Deere and Cable Price committed to working together to ensure this transition has minimal impact on customers’ access to machines, parts, and/or service,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.
“Similarly, John Deere and Cable Price are committed to smoothly transitioning customers who have existing agreements and service contracts with Cable Price.
“We believe this change in distribution will allow both companies to increase focus on their respective brands and provide a world class experience to John Deere customers across New Zealand.”
The changes will have no impact on Deere and Cable Price’s parent Hitachi’s partnerships or distribution arrangements outside New Zealand.
