One of the reasons cited by Ardan Livvey was that Deutz occupies an excellent strategic position with regard to the trends of electrification, alternative drive systems, and more efficient machinery. It is thus well placed to benefit from further change within the industry. This view is shared by the management team, and the Board of Management, therefore, welcomes any new investor that wishes to support Deutz as it pursues this strategy.

Ardan Livvey also said that it had identified as yet unused opportunities to create value for investors.

Deutz is receptive to all constructive suggestions on the company’s future development. The Board of Management has therefore contacted the investor in order to establish a dialog.

“Repairing a modern diesel engine is a complex task. Maintenance and servicing have to be cost-effective for our customers, and repairs must be economically viable. With Deutz Lifecycle Solutions, our customers around the world can access the right service solution for their needs,”

says Michael Wellenzohn, member of the Deutz Board of Management responsible for sales, marketing, and service.

The engine manufacturer has been offering a special Lifetime Parts Warranty since the beginning of 2021: If customers have their engines repaired with genuine DEUTZ parts by a certified DEUTZ partner, they will receive a warranty on those repairs of five years or up to 5,000 engine operating hours.

“Deutz stands for responsible corporate governance. By joining the UN Global Compact, Deutz is now taking the next step toward more sustainability. The coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout may be the dominant topic at present, but we must not lose sight of the global challenges that we will continue to face long after this crisis has subsided,”

says Deutz CEO Dr. Frank Hiller.

At the same time, the Company wishes to send a clear signal to suppliers that they will be held more accountable for their sustainability performance going forward. For example, they will be required to ensure that their business activities conform with the Deutz Supplier Code, and Deutz will check and assess their compliance.

With more than 12,000 participating companies and organizations from around 160 countries, the UNGC is the biggest global initiative for responsible corporate governance. Based on ten universally accepted principles, each member freely undertakes to promote human rights, fair working conditions, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption, and to prepare annual reports on its progress in respect of these issues.

In addition to these ten principles, signatories are also called upon to promote the general objectives of the United Nations and, in particular, its 17 sustainable development goals. Deutz is placing its focus primarily on aspects relating to climate change mitigation, fostering innovation, sustainable consumption and production, decent work, and gender equality.

As part of the group-wide sustainability strategy ‘Taking Responsibility’, Deutz had already set itself a variety of goals, e.g. with regard to reducing the emissions of its production sites and increasing the proportion of women in the workforce. It thereby demonstrated its commitment to achieving commercial success in a socially, economically, and environmentally responsible manner.

This decision was taken after a deep analysis of the pandemic situation in Europe; despite the control measures and the vaccination campaign worldwide, the future scenario is very uncertain. SDF has prioritised the safety of its employees, dealers and customers from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

Consistent with the current scenario and focused on safety, SDF has decided not to participate in EIMA and Agritechnica in 2021 and more generally in trade fairs across Europe.

“Safety has been our priority since the beginning and accordingly, we took the difficult decision to not participate international fairs,”

declared Massimiliano Tripodi, SDF Marketing and Communication Executive Director.

“We are facing a new era in business relationships where new technologies give us opportunities to get in direct contact with customers overcoming physical distances.”

SDF will continue to invest strongly in digital and marketing communication in order to showcase new products and services and interacting with its customers and all agricultural stakeholders throughout the year.

The company is monitoring the evolution of the pandemic in each country, looking forward to the time when this will be over and we will be able to personally again welcome our  customers and dealers.
