On Jan. 1, 2008, Kuhn's two U.S. companies, Kuhn Farm Machinery, Inc. (the North American marketing and distribution arm of Kuhn Group) and Kuhn Knight, Inc. (the manufacturing company) merged to create Kuhn North America, Inc., headquartered in Brodhead, Wis. This new chapter concludes the five-year

Thierry Krier, President and CEO, says that this merger has no impact on the company's employee staffing levels, product distribution through six regional centers, or business growth strategy, which markets the branded product lines of Kuhn and Kuhn Knight through two dealer network organizations.
