Queensland-based Equipment Specialists Australia (ESA) has been named Faresin Industries Dealer of the Year.

The accolade is yet another feather in the cap of ESA, which has been making a name for itself in recent years for bringing in quality equipment for the construction and earthmoving industries.

Faresin Industries, headquartered in the Italian town of Breganze, designs, manufactures and markets mixer wagons and ration analysis instruments for the livestock sector and telescopic handlers for agricultural and industrial use.

We spoke to Business Development Manager for Agricultural Products for Ahern Australia, David Soderstrom, to learn more about Faresin and why ESA were worthy winners of the award.

“The company initially started out as a supplier of components to another Italian company Laverda, which today is a part of the AGCO family,” David said.

“Faresin has sold machines in Australia since 2014, for the agricultural and industrial sectors. The company maintains strong commitments to understanding a customer’s requirements and supporting the owners through their ownership of their purchased equipment.”

The major equipment sold to the industrial side has been the telehandlers, with a range from 2.6 tonnes through to 7t, and boom reaches from 6 metres through to 17m and everything in between.

“We also have two separate lines within the telehandler range: one being the conventual diesel-powered version, and the other being the fully electric one,” David said.

“We see a strong customer base for both ranges, with some companies opting for a diesel version due to their site requirements and others opting for electric.

“Faresin was the first manufacturer to bring this electric technology to market in the world. So I’d say both ranges are important as we can tailor a machine to suit a customer’s requirements.”

David said the electric range of telehandlers was already making a definite mark in Australia.
