Celebration of the company’s 25th anniversary and pre-season get-together

A quarter of a century of operation in the market – that calls for a proper celebration! We are pleased that we could welcome more than 140 representatives of 52 authorized BEDNAR dealers from 26 countries on BEDNAR FMT’s own ground in the Czech Republic. They included colleagues from South Africa, Chile and Kazakhstan. This event was yet more proof that BEDNAR is a global player on the agricultural machinery market.

This festive evening was hosted by David Ryčl, the marketing director

Ladislav Bednář, the owner of the company, welcomed all the attendees at the beginning of the evening

Dazzling yellow machines, amazing atmosphere and TOP partners awards

The anniversary celebration was held in the “farming style” and that is why the festive evening took place in a field. In front of the marquee, there was a presentation of the product portfolio of BEDNAR machinery, including innovations that will be introduced to the farming public this October.

Silk dance and breath-taking sand performance

Traditional pre-season get-together and presentation of machinery at work

During the second day, we organized “BEDNAR preseason”, our traditional pre-season get-together, in an unconventional way – it took the form of group presentations given by representatives from the individual departments who summed up the results achieved and presented innovations and targets for the upcoming season.

This year‘s BEDNAR preseason attendees – 52 business partners from 26 countries

After that, everyone moved to the field where a commentated presentation of machinery at work was given, showing certain technological lines from management of after-harvest residues, to soil processing and preparation up to final seeding.
