Whats new in Farming

Sellars shows its faith in the future of Scottish farming

In a sign of its confidence of the future strength of agriculture in Scotland, Sellars, which are one of country’s largest Claas machinery dealerships, is looking to the future and is planning to implement strategic investments across the business.

Based at Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Sellars operates from a total of seven branches and employs 80 staff covering an area from the Firth of Forth to Inverness-shire. The company is the main dealer for Claas, Lemken and Stewart in the region, in addition to representing a range of other multinational manufacturers.

An important part of the business is the enviable high reputation the company has for the after-sales service and support it provides, especially during the important peak harvesting season.  This results in market leading sales of combines and forage harvesters, and a growing parc of Claas tractors.

To further develop this aspect of the business, Sellars has invested in a new service outlet near Linlithgow in West Lothian. Close to the M9 and other major roads, it is ideally placed to provide more localised service for customers south of the Forth. This will benefit existing customers and enable Sellars to expand its business throughout the central belt of Scotland.

In addition to this expansion, and looking to the overall future corporate development of Sellars as a family business, the board has also taken advantage of the company’s current financial strength to realise the opportunity to buy back a minority shareholding held by Claas UK.

By buying back this shareholding, Sellars will return to being 100 per cent locally and family owned, controlled by its senior management shareholders and the Wattie family.
