Agritrac, which is part of agricultural machinery supplier HRN Tractors, boasts seven depots across the Scottish region and employs 35 service technicians to support its products.

The company also has 13 existing sales professionals and has recruited two additional dedicated construction sales specialists to complement the existing team.

The firm replaces Young Plant Sales which had been the Hyundai dealer for Scotland since 2006.

Hyundai’s regional sales manager for the United Kingdom and Ireland, Tony Reeves, said: “Agritrac offers an established network of depots across Scotland which will offer our Hyundai customers the very highest levels of service, parts and sales provision.”

He added: “Agritrac has a fantastic reputation across Scotland for excellent service backup, which is essential in providing ‘added value’ and ‘peace of mind’ to Scottish operators of our products.

“Agritrac will also be a ‘full line’ dealer, which is a first for the Hyundai brand in Scotland, offering customers mini excavators as well as heavy line and wheeled loaders.”

Agritrac exports director Stuart Barclay said: “We see this partnership as a great opportunity to raise the profile of the brand in Scotland.”
