Company wants to return to 'short lines of communication, quality and service'

Knegt Tractors is once again under the leadership of founder Jeroen van Eerd. The company announced this in a short statement. With Van Eerd's return, the tractor manufacturer says it is choosing a clear direction with a focus on reliability, product quality and service.

According to Knegt, this means more focus on practical support and a straightforward approach for users in green maintenance and public space management. In the coming period, the company says it will mainly focus on strengthening machine quality and support for customers and dealers.

'No detours and no noise'

Back to basics

According to Van Eerd, this approach matches the way Knegt was originally built. 'A tractor should simply do what it is supposed to do, and agreements must be honoured,' said the founder. 'That is how we built Knegt 25 years ago, and that is how we will continue now.'
Knegt wants to build further on experience from the past, combined with current market insights. The manufacturer says it is deliberately choosing 'no detours and no noise', but rather a focus on the company's core activities.

Compact tractors for green management

Knegt supplies compact tractors that are used by landscapers, green contractors and public green managers, among others. The machines are used for tasks such as mowing, transport and grounds maintenance. With this change in direction, the company appears to be positioning itself more clearly as a practical player for professional green management.
