Exporting agricultural gear boxes to Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Bulgaria

Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland are the largest markets for agricultural gearboxes in Eastern Europe, with combined imports of an estimated €1.9 billion a year. Poland, in particular, has increased its gearbox imports from the DCs eightfold within the last five years. The greatest opportunities for exporters lie in directly approaching OEMs/wholesalers with gearboxes or their parts (especially gear wheels, power take-offs, clutches, hydraulics, valves and hoses), or selling gearbox parts in the aftermarket sector to companies specialising in gearbox overhaul.
