The partnership takes effect immediately. PIRK’s skidding trailers and forestry tippers will complement ALBACH’s existing range, broadening the machinery offering for forestry and municipal applications.

A key part of the agreement is to supplement PIRK’s existing dealer network with ALBACH’s international sales and dealer network. The companies aim to bring PIRK products to additional markets and customer groups while strengthening the brand’s international visibility.

Beyond sales, ALBACH and PIRK will explore further opportunities for long-term collaboration, drawing on their respective areas of expertise.

“With PIRK, we are gaining a strong partner whose products complement our existing portfolio exceptionally well. Through our global sales and dealer network, we aim to further promote the PIRK brand internationally. We look forward to working together and successfully capitalising on the resulting potential,” says Franz Bachmaier of ALBACH Maschinenbau AG.

According to the companies, the partnership is intended to create long-term growth opportunities in the international forestry machinery market while preserving the independence of both businesses.
