Case New Holland (CNH) Industrial recently announced the acquisition of Specialty Enterprises LLC (Specialty), believed to be North America’s largest manufacturer of premium aluminium spray booms for agricultural applications.

Interestingly, the deal comes at a time when other well-known manufactures such as Lemken and Fendt pull away from the trailed sprayer markets due to the uncertain future surrounding chemical crop care products within agriculture.

However, the acquisition will provide CNH customers with access to a product offering enhancement with longer booms and allow the acceleration of development around new technologies according to CNH.
