Regina-headquartered Brandt has been appointed to serve as the new Deere Construction and Forestry dealer in three Australian states.

Beginning Aug. 1, the company will assume dealer responsibilities in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.

Brandt began with a single John Deere construction dealership in 1992 – and now boasts the largest John Deere dealer group in the world – with 56 stores in Canada and 13 stores supporting the north island of New Zealand.

“We know that customers across these states demand a high level of service from their equipment dealers, and we’re ready to invest in our operations to meet those needs,” Brandt CEO and owner Shaun Semple said in the company’s announcement.

The company first entered the Australian market in 2021 – and has invested in the local networks of agriculture, golf and compact construction equipment dealerships.

“We are excited to get to know the hard-working contractors across the area,” Semple added. “As we hear your needs, we will work hard and invest in our operations so we can earn your business for many years to come.”
