Krone UK confirms closure of Krone Forage Solutions

The manufacturer said that this move marks a significant milestone in Krone UK’s journey, reinforcing the company’s confidence in its trusted independent dealers to deliver exceptional service, support, and sales expertise to customers nationwide.

Dr Marcus Oliver, managing director at Krone UK, said: “Krone Forage Solutions was established to demonstrate our confidence in the Krone brand and ensure a local presence during a key stage in our UK development in the absence of an independent dealer option.

“It has served its purpose extremely well. Today, our national network of dedicated and highly capable dealers is stronger than ever.

“With this in mind, we are now shifting our focus entirely to supporting our independent dealer partners – enabling them to thrive, grow and deliver outstanding value to our shared customers.”

Mr Oliver confirmed that other than the planned closure of KFS, there are no other intended changes to Krone’s distribution model.

‘Seamless transition’

Krone UK said it is actively working with all affected staff and customers to ensure a seamless transition over the coming months to assure continued access to the Krone machinery range, parts, and service support through its dealer network.

Business will continue as normal across all departments until Krone Forage Solutions ceases trading on 30th November 2025.

The company confirmed that there will be no change to any existing formal agreements/commitments already made to customers or suppliers.

A spokesperson for Krone UK added: “The company remains fully committed to the UK market, with plans for further investment in dealer development, customer service, and aftersales support.

“This decision reflects Krone UK’s long-term vision: to empower its independent dealer network, enhance customer experience, and maintain Krone’s position as the leading specialist in grassland and forage machinery.”
