At the initial stage, the enterprise plans to launch the production of agricultural machinery with power up to 30 hp, which is in greatest demand among owners of small and medium-sized farms. The tractors will be produced under the KRASZ brand. Components for them will be supplied by major Asian manufacturers.
Retail sales of the new products, as well as their warranty and post-warranty service, will be handled by the AIS Group of Companies. As before, the equipment can be purchased on credit or lease. In addition, customers will be offered mobile service. Mobile teams are already operating at AIS production facilities, traveling to customers in all-wheel-drive service vehicles with high cross-country capability. These vehicles are equipped with the necessary tools, original consumables, as well as a supply of fuel and lubricants.
According to the Marketing Director of the AIS Group of Companies, Sergey Borovik, demand in this segment is quite high: according to experts, it exceeds 17,000 tractors annually and continues to grow. The company plans to capture from 5% to 10% of this niche in the coming years.
The AIS Group of Companies has been supplying equipment for the agricultural sector for over 20 years. In early 2018, it began selling tractors. By the end of that year, the company became the second-largest importer of MTZ Belarus tractors to Ukraine.
The Avto-Holding plant is one of the leading Ukrainian manufacturers of special equipment. Its history dates back to 2006.
