    Base units

    The base units for our Green Machines are made to our specifications by Foton Heavy Industries International Trading Co. Ltd. This manufacturer was selected for its high standards of quality, service and parts back up. We have received assurances from Foton that:

  • Workers are paid fairly, in fact Foton workers are paid 'higher than the average' worker in their city of Weifang
  • Worker health and safety is of high priority and all national standards and regulations are met or exceeded
  • The company is active in its efforts to care for the environment as demonstrated by its investment in equipment to recycle waste water and heat
  • This award winning company is rated in the 'Top 100 Companies' in China, meeting the European and American import requirements for tractors, combine harvesters, trucks and construction equipment

    New Zealand Suppliers

    Wherever possible, domestic suppliers are used for accessories and modifications to the base units. We also check our domestic suppliers to ensure their business practices are consistent with our philosophy.

    Additionally, we are pleased to note that our web designer has both a beard and a relaxed work ethic.
