Vapormatic

[vf949]

Has anyone heard that Vapormatic are to exit the UK market? It would seem a strange move for a company that started in and is headquartered in the UK? Maybe they are not making enough money in the UK market to keep it's owners John Deere happy?

Not that i know of but there is plenty of competition for them IMO, Bepco, Sparex, granite kramp etc etc

I cant see that happening though IMO but who knows whats going on these days!

Going to be eaten up by kramp apparently
kramp are the chosen supplier to John Deere dealers in europe and Vapormatic parts are available through kramp in Europe already

Might be, here in the Netherlands vapormatic is not a thing though you can get a good few jd parts through kramp.

It's very much Kramp or Bepco here in France.

Another decent firm bought by the jolly green giant, run for a bit, then closed (remember Matbro? there must be others).

Matbro was purchased by Powerscreen, then sold to Terex, JD just purchased the designs of the machines

Okay
So I have spoken to a vapormatic rep today just by pure coincidence he rang to say hello.

JD and vapormatic have just set out there next 5 year plan and there are no plans to sell it's just rummers. The only connection to kramp is that they buy certain vapormatic products from kramp which they can then sell on via the kramp network in the EU as vapormatic dont have the dealer network in the rest of EU like they do here in UK.

JD only bought designs for 4ws machines nothing else. Terex kept the designs for pivots and all the matbro parts supply.
