Väderstad has acquired parts of the Danish company Thyregod that produces a full product range of inter-row cultivators.

Henrik Gilstring, CEO of Väderstad Group and Peter Erik Hansen, chairman of the board at Thyregod A/S

The acquisition includes all intellectual property rights to Thyregod’s inter-row cultivator product area; the TRV range including the Swingking. 

Thyregod A/S is a Danish agricultural brand with roots that go back to 1918. For more than 25 years, it has worked to develop, produce and sell inter-row cultivators. The spring of 2023 will be a transition period and Väderstad will take over the responsibility for the inter-row cultivator business June 1st.

Vaderstad UK’s sales and marketing manager Andy Gamble said, “Our new and existing farmer customers will increasingly use inter-row crop cultivators and it is essential that we include them in our product range.

"We have already identified that in the future many of our Tempo farmers will move to more mechanical solutions for weed control. 

“As there is usually a challenge to match an inter-row cultivator to a seeding machine, Väderstad can now offer farmers a complete solution,” he says. “Adding an inter-row cultivator to our product range also optimizes our future Proceed concept in cereals.”

Initially, the inter-row cultivators will be sold under the Thyregod brand, and manufactured in Thyregod’s production facilities in Denmark. From June 2024, they will carry the Väderstad brand and the company says more details about this will be announced prior to Agritechnica 2023.
