On January 24th and 25th, Stara received its dealers from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and South Africa for the 10th Stara Dealers Convention.
On March 24th, dealers joined the 2018 certification process ceremony. On the acknowledgment plate deliver, 17 dealers got bronze, 35 got silver, and 8 got the desired gold. The Golden Dealers are Campoeste from Luís Eduardo Magalhães – Bahia, MaqForte from Pato Branco – Paraná, 3A Máquinas from Dourados – Mato Grosso do Sul, Futura Máquinas from Patos de Minas – Minas Gerais, Rota Agrícola from Tapejara, and Menegazzo from Santo Augusto- Rio Grande do Sul, Agritama, from Sorriso, and Agriterra from Lucas do Rio Verde – Mato Grosso.
“It is a pleasure to receive all our dealers, being able to give back some of the work that has been done by them every day, taking our brand to the producer. We are very proud of our network. We had believed that building a dealer network would have been a big step, but we have not known it would be so good to have you working with us”, said the CEO during the ceremony.
On the 25th, dealers followed a balance sheet for 2018 and outlook for 2019, presented by Stara vice-president, Átila Stapelbroek Trennepohl, and the CEO, Gilson Trennepohl. They then followed the presentation of the StarPeS Program (which is a parts and service management plan, implemented on dealers).
In the afternoon, guests visited the company manufacturing park and attended a speech delivered by Rick Chesther, a water seller from Copacabana, who recorded a video and became famous on the internet talking about entrepreneurship.
The great moment was the Stara new self-propelled sprayers launch, The Imperadores. They are available in 2 models, 3000 and 4000. The Imperadores bring the best efficiency in spraying, resulting from innovative technologies combined with the proven application quality. The new models are modern, robust, and bold. The new line stands out for the excellent application precision guaranteed by the central booms, added to technologies such as Continuous Recirculating System, Individual Nozzle Control, Double Line System and 4 Wheels Steering, ensuring more accurate and economic spraying.
Moreover, to top the Convention off, Stara and Dealers celebrated with a traditional “Costelão Gaúcho” (Bovine ribs barbecue, very common on the South of Brazil). All of it with the Stara band live show, reinforcing once again that “none of us is as good as all of us together”!
