Politics meets agricultural machinery

The Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia and chancellor candidate of the CDU, Armin Laschet, accompanied by the Lower Saxony Minister for Economic Affairs, Dr. Bernd Althusmann, Anette Meyer zu Strohen, member of the state parliament, Verena Kämmerling, the chair of the CDU Osnabrück, and Dr. Mathias Middelberg, member of the Bundestag, visited our main plant in Hasbergen-Gaste on 18 August of this year.

The main topic of the visit was modern, resource-saving and environmentally compatible agriculture. However, the company owners, Dr. Justus Dreyer and Christian Dreyer, also illustrated the versatile international activities of AMAZONEN-WERKE in more than 70 countries worldwide as well as the appeal of the agricultural machinery innovations "Made in Germany".

The hosts were pleased about the willingness of politicians to address the problems of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as the challenges and concerns of agriculture. In his conclusion, Mr Laschet thanked all those present for the constructive exchange and emphasised the importance of medium-sized family businesses for the economy in Germany. He also said that the visitors were particularly impressed by the high level of digitalisation which is now being used in agricultural machinery.
