The robotic mower manufacturer sees this
growth as proof the technology is necessary to address industry
labor shortages and business challenges seen worldwide
GREEN
BAY, Wis., July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RC Mowers, a
leading manufacturer of robotic mowers, has expanded its Autonomous
Mowing Robot (AMR)™ dealer network outside of the United States. RC Mowers is bringing
autonomy to Australia through a
partnership with Colbrook Industries, an industrial vegetation
management machinery dealership near Melbourne.
"We're thrilled to expand the footprint of our autonomous
business outside the country. Like the US, Australian landscape
companies are experiencing a severe ongoing labor shortage – and
our AMRs solve that problem," said Tim
Kubista, vice president of sales and marketing for RC
Mowers. "It's a testament to our business-enhancing technology that
a well-established dealership like Colbrook Industries believes our
AMRs are a great solution for the Australian market. RC Mowers
truly is addressing the global issue of labor shortages."
Colbrook Industries began its professional association with RC
Mowers by selling the company's Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers
prior to the development of the AMR. When Colbrook saw the
potential of AMRs helping landscapers address labor shortages and
profit challenges, they were eager to add the RC Mowers autonomous
product to their offerings.
"Colbrook Industries prides itself on service and support to the
Australian and New Zealand
markets," said Rob Plageman, the
managing director of Colbrook industries. "We feel it is our
responsibility to offer world-class and industry-leading products
where we can, and the RC Mowers AMR does exactly this."
Plageman said that in addition to providing a solution for the
labor shortage the landscaping industry is facing worldwide, the
robotic machines provide landscaping professionals with the vital
data they want to help them make critical business decisions.
"The commercial land care sector is thirsty for data," Plageman
said. "The data provides much wanted visibility into the
inefficiencies of a landscaping business and allows these land care
professionals to design changes and implement them. When it comes
to providing data, the RC Mowers AMR solution is unparalleled and a
key reason every large scale land care company in our market is
currently speaking with us about the AMR solution for their
business."
RC Mowers has been extending its network of AMR dealerships
since the robotic mowers hit the market in 2023. Kubista said that
a combination of ongoing labor challenges, desire for improved ROI,
and RC Mowers' excellent customer support system have been the
driving forces behind this expansion.
"AMRs allow landscapers to scale their businesses for growth
because they allow one operator to generate the same revenue as a
crew of three," Kubista said. "Our technology gives landscapers the
opportunity to turn typically low-profit or no-profit mowing
services into actual money-makers. RC Mowers will continue to
address the real problems in the landscaping industry through
industry-leading innovation, in-depth partnering, and unparalleled
customer support."
Dealers are carefully selected, provided with extensive sales
and product training, and supported by the RC Mowers team during
the entire sales and post-sale cycle.
