O’Connors announces expansion in NSW
Prominent Case IH dealer, O’Connors, purchased four smaller dealerships in Central West NSW, bringing the business’ footprint to 10 locations across AustraliaO’Connors' recent acquisition of three McClintock Group branches and one Sincock LVM business in NSW has sealed its position as the largest Case IH dealership in Australia.
The McClintock Group locations in Forbes, West Wyalong and Grenfell; and the Sincock LVM branch in Condobolin will be taken over by O’Connors in the new year, taking its branch tally from six to 10 across the country.
According to O’Connors Chief Executive Officer, Gareth Webb, the business has been looking to expand and the McClintock dealerships present a perfect fit.
“O’Connors is a family business built upon great customer relationships, commitment to service and knowledge of the industry, particularly in broadacre,” he said.
“The acquisition of the McClintock’s Case IH dealerships is a great opportunity to extend our footprint with an organisation that has similar values and history.”
General Manager for Case IH Australia and New Zealand, Pete McCann, said the move to purchase secured the Case IH name in a prominent agricultural region.
“We need to ensure the future of these branches for the benefit of the Case IH customers in these areas, who have been so well served by McClintock’s for more than 45 years,” he said.
“O’Connors is a highly-respected name within the network and we know with this expansion, these branches will go from strength to strength under its management.
“This move also ensures the ongoing strength and long-term viability of Case IH in Australia and New Zealand, and that’s good news for not only the brand, but all the branches that make up our extensive network.”
O’Connors currently has branches across three states - in Birchip, Warracknabeal, Horsham, and Shepparton in Victoria; Corowa in NSW and Bordertown in South Australia. The expected changeover date for Condobolin is anticipated for December 1, 2018 while the finalisation of the McClintock deal is expected to be by February 1, 2019.
“For over 50 years, O’Connors has built a reputation for delivering exceptional support to customers, with unrivalled expertise and with parts and service departments backed by our extensive branch network,” Webb said.
“We’re looking forward to bringing these benefits to our new customers and ensuring uninterrupted support during the transition.”
