Kubota products displayed in front of AGC. During the currency crisis occurring between 1990 and 1994, AGC took the steps necessary to provide customer service and spare parts assistance in the areas of Calabria, Sicily, and Sardinia due to the fact that dealers there were severely affected by the severe economic conditions they were experiencing. By providing special considerations on spare parts, KE assisted positively in these efforts. In addition, AGC was one of the strongest supporters of the "BRAVE HEART" operation by which Kubota Europe S.A.S. Filiale Italiana launched the ME Series of Kubota Diesel Tractors throughout the country. Kubota products on display in the show room. Evaluating Kubota products Mr. Giannettino reports that “A summary of the feedback received by AGC from tractor customers is that a fuel-efficient Kubota Tractor is easily operated and delivers an exceptionally efficient operational performance even while experiencing minimal mechanical problems over the years.” In his opinion, “The most appreciated advantages of Kubota products over those available from other manufacturers include compactness, ease of operation, easy maintenance, durability, and versatility. All-in-all, Kubota is trusted as a global leader able to provide innovative products that ideally meet the basic necessities of all concerned. For AGC, therefore, it is the ideal partner.” – 19 –
