New Claas center in Bitterfeld: Opportunities for used agricultural technology!

In an exciting development in the field of agricultural technology, the Claas Group celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for its new competence center in Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The company is thus reacting to the limited growth and expansion opportunities at the existing location in Landsberg. This step is intended to boost not only the national but also the international business with used agricultural machinery. Agricultural technology online reports that the new location has attractive transport connections, such as its proximity to the Berliner Ring and the A14 and A38 motorways.

What does this mean specifically for the industry? The new location will also offer the opportunity to offer used machine certification directly on site. This is particularly important because hardly anyone wants to end up with an unprofitable business. In addition, the increasing product complexity in agriculture should not be underestimated. Therefore, the need for product training will also grow. In the Claas Academy, which has so far welcomed up to 1,200 training participants per year in Landsberg, even more participants are to be taught in the future. State-of-the-art rooms and technical equipment are already being planned.

Competitive advantages through certification

A crucial topic in the discussion about used machines is the legal requirements and certifications. How dguv.de explained, used machines do not fall under the Machinery Directive, but there are exceptions. Machines imported into the EEA (European Economic Area) for the first time must comply with all directives, even if they are used. Particular care must be taken when making modifications, as such machines could be considered new if they have been significantly modified. This complexity requires companies to ensure that all requirements of the industrial safety regulations are met before use.

For many farmers, the market for used machinery is of crucial importance. The marketplace technikboerse.com is at the heart of this, as Europe's largest provider of new and used agricultural machinery. Around 125,000 machines, including many used tractors and combine harvesters, are available there every day. Brands such as John Deere, FENDT and CLAAS are particularly in demand. The convenient search function allows users to make precise selections based on various criteria, which makes buying and selling machines much easier.

Outlook into the future

The expansion of the Claas location in Bitterfeld-Wolfen promises to significantly stimulate the used machinery market. The strategic location in combination with a comprehensive training offer could prove to be a real stroke of luck for traders and farmers. At the same time, it is crucial to meet market requirements and legal requirements in order to guarantee safety and efficiency when dealing with used machines. Well-trained specialists who can respond to changes in the industry will be even more in demand in the future.

In summary, it can be said that the new plant in Bitterfeld-Wolfen not only provides an answer to the challenges of the market, but also a clear step towards the future in which quality and certifications play a decisive role.
