APH Group Expands into North America with New Sales and Service Office in North Dakota

APH Group, a global dealer organization for agricultural machinery and installations, has opened a sales and service office in Grafton, North Dakota, expanding its presence into the Red River Valley region. This strategic move strengthens APH Group’s commitment to supporting growers worldwide with high-quality equipment, expert advice, and local service.

The company is already active in many potato-producing regions around the globe and now brings its full range of solutions and services to one of the most productive potato-growing areas in North America.

To lead this initiative, APH Group has appointed Darren Demers as Manager for the Red River Valley. A former potato grower, Demers brings extensive experience in the agricultural sector, including his previous role as Sales Manager for potato machinery. His in-depth knowledge of the industry, strong local relationships, and dedication to supporting growers make him ideally suited to drive APH Group’s growth in the region.
 

Meeting the needs of the potato industry in North Dakota and Minnesota

The Red River Valley, ranked among the top five potato-producing regions in the United States, offers ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality potatoes. With this expansion, APH Group ensures that local farmers gain direct access to advanced technology and reliable support to enhance productivity and efficiency.

By establishing a local sales and service center, APH Group provides timely access to service, parts, and technical expertise — enabling growers to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive agricultural market.

APH Group supplies a portfolio of leading equipment brands, including Dewulf, Baselier, Omnivent, VHM, Flikweert, Agricola, Wevano, and others. From planters and harvesters to climate-controlled storage, automated box handling, and optical grading systems — the company’s portfolio supports every stage of the potato value chain.
