In 2013, Amazonen-Werke again significantly increased sales and, for the first time, exceeded the 500 million mark.

With a new record of 515 million Euros, the turnover in 2013 was about 12 percent higher than that of 2012 (460 million).

Parallel to the increase in turnover, the number of permanent Amazone employees rose to 1,800. The export share still is about 80 % and the investment in research and development amounts to more than 5 % of the turnover.

The markets with the highest revenues are France, Russia, Poland, Great Britain and Scandinavia.

In Great Britain, Amazone Ltd saw a record turnover with significant increases especially in the areas of fertiliser spreaders and trailed & self-propelled sprayers. To cope with this additional business, staffing levels were increased in both service and product support.

"We are especially pleased that, after a very good year in 2012, we were able again to increase the turnover so significantly and thus are even over the average of the sector", Amazone directors Christian Dreyer and Dr. Justus Dreyer said in a joint statement.
