Case IH has also entered into a new era in the South Korean market with the appointment of Samjung CMC as its official dealer. Established in 2005, Samjung CMC has established a solid reputation as distributor for Case IH’s sister brand, CASE Construction Equipment. From its headquarters in Osan City, branches in Seoul, Nonsan, Kyeongsan, Suncheon, Kimhae, Dwangju and Wonju, a Sambo subsidiary in Hwaseong and a new branch in Ilsan, northwest of Seoul, Samjung CMC provides sales and service support for the full range of Case IH equipment throughout the South Korean market. Building on the existing positive relationship with Samjung CMC, Case IH aims to achieve a much stronger participation in the growing South Korean agricultural equipment marketplace.
“With the appointment of Samjung CMC we aim at establishing a strong footprint for Case IH in the South Korean market,” said Emre Karazli, CNH Industrial Business Director for Agricultural Equipment in South East Asia, Pakistan and Japan. “The Case IH range of premium high horsepower tractors, with the addition of the new Puma 150 CVX and the Maxxum 125 Multicontroller, offers the perfect answer for the fast developing mechanisation of South Korea’s agriculture.”
