Ried. Production of Hege machinery is being transferred to the production centre of Wintersteiger, the Upper Austrian engineering firm, in Ried/Innkreis, for economic and administrative reasons.

"However, we shall, of course, continue to count on the expertise of the Hege brand. State-of-the-art production technology in Ried will enable us to offer you even higher production quality in future," said Michael Neuwirth, Managing Director. "We are already the only supplier offering a 3-year guarantee on all new plot combines!"

However, after-sales service and sales of Hege and Wintersteiger products in Germany will remain completely unaffected by the transfer of production. On the contrary, Wintersteiger intends to enhance its after-sales service in Germany consistently, in order to be able to attend to customers more efficiently and quickly. This also means that all expendable parts will reach the customer within 24 hours. Our sales contacts are also still on the spot in Germany.
