Ziegler Ag Equipment announced the official opening of its newest facility in Emmetsburg, Iowa, marking the company’s seventh new location in just five years. This milestone reflects Ziegler’s unwavering commitment to bringing world-class equipment, parts, and service closer to its customers across the upper Midwest.
“Our investment in Emmetsburg is part of a broader strategy to support our customers where they live and work,” said Matt Solem, Vice President of Ziegler Ag Equipment. “We’ve opened seven new locations in five years, updated and expanded capabilities in three locations, added additional dedicated field sales and service staff, and we’re not slowing down. Our ambitions are about more than just buildings—it’s about building relationships and delivering on our promise of unmatched support.”
Ziegler Ag Equipment is proud to offer full-service capabilities across its entire network, ensuring customers have access to industry-leading support wherever they are. This includes 24/7 field service and technical support from the highest-trained technicians in the industry. Customers also benefit from Ziegler’s robust parts infrastructure, featuring around-the-clock parts availability, nightly shuttle service, convenient parts drops, direct shipping, and a seamless eCommerce experience.
“We’re excited to see our largest dealer in North America continue to grow and invest in the future,” said Ruchir Patel, VP Global Distribution Management, AGCO. “Ziegler’s commitment to innovation and customer service aligns perfectly with our FarmerCore™ strategy and vision for the future of agriculture.”
Ziegler represents industry-leading brands including Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Gleaner and Caterpillar. These partnerships are central to the company’s growth strategy and its dedication to providing customers with the most advanced and reliable equipment on the market.
William Hoeft, President of Ziegler Companies added, “This isn’t just about opening a new location—it’s about investing in the future of agriculture. We believe in the people who feed and fuel the world, and we’re committed to support them every step of the way.”
Last summer, Ziegler announced it was ending its long-standing Claas combine distribution agreement. At that same time, Ziegler announced its intent to close its Deforest and Dodgeville, Wis., stores and the Chillicothe and Marshall, Mo., stores.
