AVR Machinery, a leading Belgian manufacturer of innovative potato equipment, is pleased to announce a new distribution partnership with LOCKWOOD Manufacturing to strengthen its U.S. market presence.
Under the agreement, LOCKWOOD will serve as AVR’s official distributor in the North Dakota and Minnesota regions, key hubs of potato production in the United States, with planned inventory available directly through LOCKWOOD’s North Valley Equipment dealership in Grafton, ND. This collaboration will bring AVR’s industry-leading machinery closer to growers, offering localized support, service, and expertise.
“We are excited to be able to offer this collaboration with AVR to our growers in the region,” said Darren Demers, manager and regional salesman for North Valley Equipment. “AVR’s innovation and industry knowledge of potato equipment is a strong addition we’re proud to offer our LOCKWOOD growers.”
“We are thrilled to partner with LOCKWOOD,” said Andrew Starbuck, AVR’s Country Manager. “Their regional knowledge, strong relationships with growers, and reputation for quality make them the ideal partner for introducing AVR equipment in the Upper Midwest.”
