Based near Forfar, AL Agri is an established agricultural machinery business providing new and used machinery alongside parts, servicing, and repairs. Founded in 2016 by business partners Andy Mitchell and Liam Wylie, Merlo says the dealership has built its business around a hands-on, customer-focused approach and today has a dedicated team of technicians supporting customers in the region.
 
The appointment will see AL Agri provide sales, service and parts support for the manufacturer’s agricultural telehandler range.

Owen Buttle, national sales manager at Merlo UK, said, “Andy, Liam and the team have built a strong business with an excellent understanding of both the machinery and the needs of farmers in the area.
 
“For us, a successful dealer appointment is about much more than selling machines. Customers need knowledgeable local people who can provide the service, parts and ongoing support needed throughout the life of the machine. AL Agri has that infrastructure and, just as importantly, shares our commitment to looking after customers.”
 
Andy Mitchell, director of AL Agri, added, “Telehandlers are an essential part of day-to-day operations on most farms and Merlo gives us a comprehensive range to offer our customers. We know our local farming community well and are looking forward to introducing more customers to the Merlo product, backed up by the service and support they already expect from AL Agri.”
