Sharmans Agricultural has agreed to acquire Louth Tractors – Case IH main dealers for the central and northeast Lincolnshire area. 

The deal in principle was reached by both parties and the process is underway to finalise the details. 

With its head office in Grantham, Lincolnshire, Sharmans is a longstandiung family-run machinery dealership. It operates eight depots between Chesterfield and the M25. The business became a Case IH dealership in April 2020.

“We are delighted that Sharmans are continuing to expand their business,” said Jon May,  Case IH dealer relationship manager for the UK and Ireland.

“This is the second depot they have added since becoming a Case IH dealer just two years ago, and we are excited to watch their business flourish.

“The team is especially suited to serve the professional farming community in this key geographic area and we very much value the excellent support and service they are providing to customers old and new.”.

Barclay family

Sharmans has been run by the Barclay family since 1981.

Sharmans managing director Scott Barclay said: “Growth in this industry has become a necessity.  However, as a family-run business, people are at the centre of what we do, whether they are the staff that make up the Sharmans family, or our customers and business partners.

“These decisions around growth are never taken lightly and Sharmans along with farming family AW Smith (Farm Machinery) Ltd, trading as Louth Tractors, have worked together closely, amicably, and openly in securing the agreement to the benefit of all parties.

“For our existing and new customers, the combined dealerships offers the ability to invest further in our team, our facilities and technologies so we can go much further in supporting your businesses and delivering an exceptional customer experience.”
