Fendt Image Leader in Germany again - DLG Image Barometer 2011
According to the current Image Barometer survey carried out by the German Agricultural Society (DLG), Fendt, with 99.7 of 100 points, received by far the highest number of points amongst agricultural equipment manufacturers in 2011.
“We are very pleased that professional farmers have once again given us such an outstanding rating. That shows us that we are spot on with our philosophy to always generate the best possible benefits for our customers through the newest and most efficient technologies,” said Peter-Josef Paffen, Spokesman for the Fendt Management.
The DLG carried out the Image Barometer survey for the 16th time at the end of September. The results for the latest survey have now been published. Excerpt from the magazine of the DLG Testing Centre in a report by Hans-Georg Burger, DLG Senior Consultant: “Fendt has claimed the top position for the twelfth time already. Compared to the previous years, the agricultural equipment brand of the AGCO Corporation received the most mentions in three of the four questions and increases in all of them. Fendt has a reputation as a company with exceptional excellence and innovative power and, after five years, has also reclaimed the highest rating in the areas of advertising and corporate presentation.”
