Falcon, which was established in 1985, focuses primarily on the agricultural sector and distributes products country-wide via approximately 350 authorised dealers, while exports are also being done to a further twelve African countries. This input business, with its offices in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, is modelled on traditional values with a high regard for effective service delivery, and is the largest supplier of rotary cutters in Africa.
Falcon's managing director will remain unchanged for the next twelve to fifteen months in order to ensure that the transition takes place as smoothly as possible. Staff, the company's vision and business operations relating to suppliers, traders and end consumers will continue normally, on the same successful basis as over the past 34 years. “We are convinced that this new association with Senwes will unlock enormous potential", Managing Director Steve Thurtell added.
