Agrifriend Group has two equal shareholders, Jannie Louw and Hennie Gous. Both have a significant history in agricultural businesses.
The company Rovic Leers Kby was acquired from Mike Louw in August 2012 after he had managed it for 30 years.
Since May 2013 Rovic & Leers, as well as the Landini agency in Cradock and Humansdorp, were acquired from Gerrit Potgieter. The company was 29 years old at that stage.
Meanwhile another branch opened in Douglas in the Northern Cape and in Golden Valley in the Eastern Cape.
Our company has vast knowledge and experience, with an established clientele base.
The market is mainly supplied with the Landini and McCormick tractor ranges as well as products like Kuhn, Krone, Seko and various others from the Rovic & Leers stable.
The group also has an agency for Duncan planters and Robinson hoppers (New Zealand) and the Husqvarna product range.
The above are operated from the company Agrifriend Equipment, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Agrifriend Group.
Agrifriend Energy is a fully-owned subsidiary that focuses on precision farming equipment for the farmer (e.g. Trimble GPS equipment), solar and renewable energy equipment as well as telecommunication equipment in the field of agriculture.
Agrifriend Namibia is our subsidiary company that distributes the Landini and McCormick tractor range in Namibia as well as various agricultural implement agencies.
Kimech is a level 4 BBEEE company distributing agricultural implements and rendering assistance with training and development in the agricultural and industrial sector.
