“We have always built mowers of exceptional quality, and have total confidence in every machine that comes out of the factory. That’s an easy thing to say, but to back it up with a warranty is quite a different matter,” said Etesia UK operations director Les Malin.

“Most councils and mowing contractors have been looking more carefully at the lifetime cost of their machinery and not just the initial purchase price. Our product is not the cheapest to buy, but if you consider life cost, repairs, maintenance, downtime and now the new extended warranty, the value is easy to see”.

Last year also saw Pellenc, is exclusively distributed in the UK by Etesia UK, announcing that all battery-powered tools come with a three year warranty as standard.
