KEE Technologies Announces Plans for Mid-West Expansion
KEE Technologies, a manufacturer of hardware and software solutions for Precision Agriculture, is set to expand its presence in the mid-west and other parts of the United States.
Sioux Falls, SD (PRWEB) April 15, 2005 -- KEE Technologies, a manufacturer of
hardware and software solutions for Precision Agriculture, is set to expand its
presence in the mid-west and other parts of the United States.
"The
success of our ZYNX range of Precision Farming solutions has been unprecedented"
KEE's Chief Executive Officer, Kym Eldredge said when he made the announcement.
"We are looking to expand, firstly by acquiring new distributors and OEM's for
our products, but also by establishing a manufacturing facility here in the
United States."
Having opened an office in South Dakota with just one
part-time employee in 2003, KEE Technologies now have 5 sales and support staff
in North America.
Jeff Rohlena, KEE's US Operations Manager, said,
"Market acceptance of our products have been tremendous. Nothing on the market
can beat a ZYNX for multi tasking. Farmers have told us that with guidance plus
auto-steer, variable rate application and mapping is saving them between 20-30
percent on fertilizer and chemicals as well as over 10% on fuel costs. ZYNX has
the power to do all these jobs at once plus more."
KEE currently
manufactures most of its products in Australia. But as Kym Eldredge says, "It
just makes sense for us to manufacture here in North America. Some of our
biggest customers and prospects are here and the access to other markets in
North and South America are here."
"We haven't settled on where the new
facility will be located but we are actively talking to a number of interested
parties."
With offices in the United States, Canada, Brazil, UK, South
Africa and Australia, KEE Technologies has grown rapidly since 2001, with
employee numbers increasing from 15 to over 85 worldwide.
