Vermeer Corp. announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Bron that gives the manufacturer of utility track plows and plow attachments the rights to sell its products through Vermeer industrial dealers worldwide.
The agreement establishes Vermeer dealerships as the exclusive distributor for two of Bron’s tracked utility plows in the 200hp (149kW) and 300hp (224kW) class, and provides them the ability to sell the line of Bron utility plow attachments.
A family-owned company based in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, Bron has been active in the utility and underground infrastructure installation markets for more than 40 years and offers a range of heavy-duty plows and attachments that include static and vibratory plows, trenchers, rippers and addon plows.
Vermeer said it is teaming up with Bron to support customers working to keep up with major global investments in rural fiber and underground infrastructure. In addition, Bron’s products complement the Vermeer utility plow lineup by providing additional options for heavy-duty plows and attachments that are geared for some of the deeper and more extreme installation applications.
This move was just a latest in a flurry of deals Vermeer has forged with other manufacturers over the last several months. At the beginning of February, it acquired a minority share of MultiOne, an Italian manufacturer of compact articulated loaders. Vermeer previously had a distribution agreement with MultiOne through which Vermeer sold Vermeer-branded MultiOne loaders through its distribution network.
