In its statement, the company expressed gratitude to those who have been a part of its 20-year odyssey, noting their trust and collaboration have been integral to the company’s success.

“Future innovation will come through partnerships, within our custom fabrication business as well as our dealerships,” says Kenneth Kuhns, owner of Norden Manufacturing. “Ideas keep coming in and that speaks to the trust customers have in us, as well as the ever-changing landscape of agriculture. We raise the tide for the purpose of lifting all boats. We may not be the best solution for everyone, however, we will be there to help where we can.”
