Kuhn-Knight Becomes Kuhn North America

Kuhn farm equipment group purchased the Brodhead-based Knight Manufacturing six years ago and now the merged companies will be dropping the 'Knight' name from its business, the Wisconsin Ag Connection reported. The company announced that Kuhn Farm Machinery Inc., the North American marketing and distribution arm of Kuhn Group, and Kuhn Knight Inc. will legally merge as one business called Kuhn North America Inc.

The company says they are pleased to announced that the integration process of bringing the former Knight products into their equipment line has been successful.

“This merger has no impact on our business growth strategy of marketing two groups of product lines under the brands Kuhn and Kuhn Knight through two dealer network organizations,” said Kuhn CEO Thierry Krier. ❖
