An East Yorkshire farm machinery importer is travelling to Germany next week to promote its Polish brand, Unia.
Market Weighton based Manterra Ltd. is the sole UK importer for Unia Group and its owner, Andrew Manfield, will be on hand to welcome UK customers to the 800m2 stand at Agritechnica, the world's largest trade fair for agricultural machinery and equipment.
Mr Manfield said: "Unia Group is Central Europe's leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery and this exhibition represents an opportunity for them not only to showcase over 20 machines to potential customers, but to meet up with customers and importers from key markets including the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Czech Republic and Austria."
The 2015 Agritechnica show takes place in the Hanover exhibition centre from 8th to 14th November and features 2,897 exhibitors from 47 countries. The 2013 show attracted almost half a million visitors from 88 countries over a seven day period.
Manterra will be represented on the Unia stand number D61 that is located in Hall 12, where Unia will display a wide selection of hard working, value for money machinery including ploughs, cultivators, spreaders and sprayers. New products include the MX 3000 fertiliser spreader with the fertiliser weighing system, a six furrow Vario plough and the RCW Premium lime and fertiliser spreader.

Manterra is also an authorised reseller for Trimble precision agriculture products and Duport spoke wheel injectors. In addition, Manterra is the key technology supplier to the Stockbridge Technology Centre Tru-Nject project that has secured Innovate UK funding for a three year trial to commercialise innovative soil nutrient mapping technology that has the potential to revolutionise farming practices.
