Aebi on the way to becoming market leader
Burgdorf, 2010-02-23 - Aebi on the way to becoming market leader
Compared with the previous year, in 2009 Aebi & Co. AG was able to significantly increase its market share in Switzerland. Aebi is inexorably on the way to becoming market leader. The reasons behind the striking increase in sales of Aebi products are manifold. A significant contribution was made through the launching of diverse new products in 2009, through the marked improvement in quality but above all the atmosphere of optimism that can be sensed in connection with the merger with the Schmidt Group. Market leader in the mowing tractor segment - On 31 December 2009, according to the statics for mowing tractors newly registered in Switzerland, Aebi & Co. AG takes first place with the Terratrac Aebi TT. The market share now lies at 43% and hence Aebi & Co. AG has assumed the position of market leader. Above all, the hydrostatically driven Terratrac Aebi TT machines impress through their enormous safety, individual driving possibilities, simple operating controls and superior engineering qualities. Aebi & Co. AG regards itself as a system provider. With a Terratrac Aebi TT the customer receives a complete solution that encompasses the carrier vehicle together with the appropriate implements either for mounting or attaching. Also with the mechanically driven Terratrac Aebi, with the launching of the new model ranges Terratrac Aebi TT140 and Terratrac Aebi TT105, Aebi & Co. AG can record clear advances. The Terratrac Aebi TT105 is an extremely compact, manoeuvrable and flexible medium-sized mowing tractor. The downward rounding-off of the product portfolio is thus complete.

In the sense of a seamless transfer of the responsibilities, from the beginning of the New Year Mr Marco Studer will now take over the responsibility for the day-to-day business. As CEO, Mr Walter T. Vogel will continue to carry the responsibility for strategic matters. During the coming weeks suitable candidates will be evaluated as a successor to Mr Studer in his current position as Head of Assembly.
The long-established and intensive partnership between Aebi & Co. AG Farm and Public Works Equipment, Burgdorf and the designer Paolo Fancelli has been acknowledged with the award of the Swiss Design Prize 2009 in the category Market.
The vehicle possesses outstanding technical characteristics, can be operated off-road and on hillsides and may be used all year round thanks to a wide range of implements and attachments. Many communes and building companies are putting this versatility to good use. The Viatrac was designed especially with this market in mind.
Impressive presentation at inter airport Europe 2009
Munich, 2009-10-09 - Those responsible at Schmidt are able to draw an extremely favourable balance about the participation at the inter airport Europe 2009. The international market leader in snow clearing, sweeping and de-icing on airport traffic areas was once again convincing, with a successful stand design coupled with the presentation of many innovations. True to the Schmidt exhibition motto „Premium solutions through innovation“, the trade visitors were shown possibilities as to how, through the use of intelligent technologies, the high-performance snow clearing and de-icing work at airports can be optimised. The exhibition stand was not only one of the most attractive at the inter airport Europe 2009 but was also one of the most popular, and one can justifiably say once again that, „the industry meets at Schmidt, the market leader!“
The Turbostream TS 10 000, which was on show for the first time, proved to be a real crowd puller. This power pack, equipped with a power package consisting of a drive rating of 681 kW, is unbeatable for the fast and professional clearing of large volumes of snow!.....
