Another double award for Pöttinger innovations
Pöttinger wins two awards at the Agraria fair in Wels, one of the largest
agricultural shows in Austria. A Gold "Ag-Fox" for "autocut" and a Silver "Agfox" for the VITASEM metering system.
"autocut", the world's first automatic knife sharpening system for loader
wagons, already received a Silver medal at Agritechnica last year, awarded
by a panel of experts from the DLG (German Agricultural Assocation). And
now it has won a golden fox as well: the Gold Agrarfuchs. The Austrian
Farmers' Magazine (Österreichische Bauernzeitung) and the Wels Show were
looking for practical ideas and solutions in agriculture. This year again, an
independent jury chooses the best-of-the-best in the ideas competition: three
Gold awards and three Silvers. Pöttinger also captured a silver fox for the
new metering system on the VITASEM seed drill featuring two independent
metering units within the same sowing system.
These awards highlight once again the power of innovation with which
Pöttinger sets sail into a successful future. The agricultural technology
manufacturer based in Grieskirchen has held its position as world leader in
loader wagons for a number of years, and this year has taken the lead in
Austria with seed drill technology.
