Merlo UK expands with Lister Wilder

MERLO UK HAS picked BAGMA member Lister Wilder to represent its products across a significantly increased territory.

“Following an announcement at the end of 2022 that Chandlers Farm Equipment would be moving its focus into other product areas, we have been working hard to secure a stable and longterm partner for the Merlo franchise in the area,” commented Shaun Groom, general manager at Merlo UK. “We are delighted to be able to announce the further strengthening of our relationship with Lister Wilder with the expansion of their territory for Merlo”.

Effective from March 1, the Merlo Agricultural telescopic handler range, Cingo tracked carriers, TreEmme attachments and forestry tractors will all be represented by Lister Wilder in an area stretching from Bristol in the west to Windsor in the east.

Phill Hughes, sales & hire director at Lister Wilder, said: “We are under no illusion as to the responsibility that this announcement brings, these machines are widely accepted as one of the most frequently used and relied upon machines on farm, so good back-up is paramount. We have welcomed new team members to Lister Wilder to ensure this is the case and are now ready to hit the ground running.”
