Ponsse Plc and Sotreq S.A. have signed a cooperation agreement on the sale, service and marketing of PONSSE harvester heads in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.

“Minas Gerais is a key forestry area in Brazil, and we want to offer better services to our customers operating in the area. This cooperation supports our objective of being a strong player in Brazil’s harvester head market,” says Ponsse Plc’s Group Sales and Marketing Director Jarmo Vidgrén.

Sotreq has a total of four service centres in the Minas Gerais region. In addition to being a harvesting equipment dealer, the conglomerate also operates in the fields of construction, mining, energy, Oil & Gas and materials handling.
