Oxbo, a Netherlands headquartered company, has acquired H&S Manufacturing in Marshfield and Clintonville, Wisconsin. The acquisition is designed to foster high-quality, customer-focused product innovation, to ensure customer service, and to strengthen the Oxbo and H&S position in the global hay and forage market.
H&S Manufacturing was founded in 1967 and has been a leading manufacturer of hay and forage equipment. The company’s products include forage boxes, manure spreaders, and hay rakes. H&S has a strong dealer network in the United States and Canada.
Oxbo is a global leader in the design and manufacture of agricultural equipment. The company’s products include hay and forage equipment, as well as tillage equipment, balers, and manure spreaders. Oxbo has a strong presence in Europe, North America, and South America.
The acquisition of H&S Manufacturing by Oxbo is a major development in the hay and forage industry. The two companies have complementary product lines and dealer networks, which will allow them to offer a wider range of products and services to their customers. The acquisition is also expected to boost innovation in the hay and forage industry.
H&S Manufacturing will continue to operate at its existing facilities after the acquisition. Customers will continue to purchase products and parts from their existing H&S or Oxbo dealer. Oxbo is committed to serving its valued customers and will continue to offer the same high level of customer service that H&S customers have come to expect.
At this time Oxbo has not responded to requests about future employment counts or how local vendors will be impacted by the acquisition.
The acquisition of H&S Manufacturing by Oxbo is a sign of the growing importance of the hay and forage market. The two companies are well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of this market and to offer their customers the best possible products and services.
