Primex 2026 delivered an excellent return on investment for our business and reinforced the importance of regional agricultural field days in connecting suppliers with customers across Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland. The event generated strong outcomes for KC Equipment, with more than 60 leads recorded across the three days. The quality of customers was particularly strong, with genuine enquiries from customers actively considering equipment purchases. The event generated sales outcomes, with a number of tractor, implement and mower sales secured during the event, while follow-up activity from event-generated leads has already resulted in over a dozen further equipment sales. Primex continues to be an important part of our annual marketing and customer engagement strategy, creating valuable opportunities to strengthen existing relationships, develop new business connections and build a strong pipeline of future opportunities.”

Primex 2026 was an incredible way to kick off our entry into New South Wales. As a New Zealand owned company, getting on the ground and chatting directly with Dairy and Beef farmers about the real challenges they're facing was exactly what we needed. Over 3 days, we picked up 100 leads and the energy from farmers was great; showing genuine excitement for what Halter can do - despite some rain! It was a real reminder of why face-to-face interaction with farmers matters, and we look forward to participating again next year.
