AGROVISTA INVESTS IN ROBOTICS

Agrovista Amenity have announced that they have enhanced their line marking capabilities with a major investment in robotic technology and key industry appointments.

The company has secured an exclusive partnership with XDC Autonomous Solutions for the distribution of the RM21 Combo Mower in the UK and Ireland. Alongside this, they have appointed David Mitchell as their line marking business development manager.

The RM21, distributed exclusively by XDC, combines line marking and mowing in a single unit. The company says its modular design also includes a growing range of attachments, such as an automated dew brush, a grass collector, and a ball picker for driving ranges.

Dan Hughes, Agrovista Amenity's head of commercial, said, "After five years of growing our amenity, landscape, and consumer business, we identified line marking as an area where we could apply our expertise and leverage cutting-edge technology. The RM21 is not just a line marker - it’s a complete solution with the potential to revolutionise grounds management. Partnering with XDC ensures that we can bring this technology to market with the technical support, training, and after-sales service that our customers expect."

Under the agreement, Agrovista Amenity will be the exclusive distributor and seller of the RM21, while XDC provides technical sales support, training, and service backup. This allows Agrovista Amenity to leverage its extensive network of over 40 representatives to promote the RM21 effectively, while XDC focuses on delivering expert technical assistance.

Alongside this, the company has appointed David Mitchell as line marking business development manager. With six years of experience at Linemark UK, a manufacturer of paint and machinery for line marking, Agrovista says David brings a deep understanding of the sector.

He said, "I see this as an opportunity to develop a strong line marking offering with the right products and people. The RM21 is a fantastic machine, and with the expertise of XDC and Agrovista Amenity’s resources, we have a real opportunity to deliver a competitive, easy-to-use product that enhances operations."
