John Deere (Pty) Ltd
John Deere (Pty) Ltd. was originally a private company called "South African Cultivators (Pty.) Ltd", based in Nigel. In 1962 Deere & Company purchased the majority interest and the name was changed to "John Deere - Bobaas (Pty.) Ltd". ("Bobaas" originating from the trade name of the cultivators manufactured) and later to John Deere (Pty) Ltd.
South Africa sources equipment and parts from other John Deere factories around the world. It had retained a manufacturing capability of its own (planters, cultivators and rotary hoes) until June 2005.
The branch is responsible for the sale of agricultural, commercial and consumer equipment together with spare parts throughout South Africa as well as to Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia & Malawi.
John Deere (Pty) Ltd works closely together with its dealer network located throughout South & Southern Africa to deliver John Deere products supported by a strong after sales support to its customers.
The team is made up of highly motivated people working in a close knit group to develop the John Deere business in Southern Africa.
After being based at the premises in Nigel for 44 years, the South African branch moved to the new facility in Boksburg on the 17th July 2006.
