Tong Engineering Partners with ScanStone in Scotland

Tong Engineering has announced the appointment of ScanStone as the company’s new approved dealer for Scotland.

This partnership with ScanStone is expected to strengthen Tong’s relationship with potato and vegetable growers throughout Scotland.

Located outside Forfar, Angus, ScanStone is a family-owned and operated business, designing and manufacturing a wide range of soil preparation equipment, built for UK and export markets.

“ScanStone has an established reputation within the industry for quality, reliability and excellent service,” says Edward Tong, managing director at Tong Engineering. Our customer base is very similar to ScanStone’s, both in the UK and overseas, and there are certainly some exciting opportunities for our two businesses to work together in Scotland.”

Edward Tong says that this partnership will allow Tong to be even more responsive to any sales, service and spare parts requirements the customers have.

William Skea, UK sales and service director at ScanStone commented on the new appointment: “Adding Tong’s post-harvest product range alongside the ScanStone range of in-field equipment will bring customers a complete solution, and we very much look forward to working together to make Tong and ScanStone potato systems the number one choice throughout the country. “Our dedicated sales and service teams are experienced in understanding growers’ requirements, and as main Tong parts stockist for Scotland too, we aim to bring a very valuable service to Tong customers”.

The new Tong dealership at ScanStone will cover sales, service and spares for Tong’s complete range of potato and vegetable handling equipment, including advanced grading, cleaning, washing, polishing and box handling systems for seed and main crop potatoes and vegetables.

“Scotland remains a very high priority region within our company’s growth strategy, and this latest addition to our approved dealer network represents our focus on ensuring the very best customer experience,” adds Edward. “We look forward to building upon our existing customer relations in Scotland and developing new connections through this new partnership.”
