Merlo marked two decades in the local market with a celebratory event that included guests from across Australia and overseas
Merlo Group Australia proudly marked its 20th anniversary of operations in Australia with a spectacular celebration in Sydney.
Held in early March, the milestone event brought together Merlo’s valued partners, dealers, and guests from across the country.
Two key representatives from Merlo S.p.A also travelled from the brand’s homeland of Italy to commemorate two decades of innovation and excellence across a number of industries including agriculture.
Held at the prestigious Doltone House Darling Island, the evening was filled with memorable moments and began with a warm welcome from Merlo Group Australia general manager Michael Lombardo.
He expressed his gratitude to Merlo’s dedicated team, loyal customers, and industry partners who he says have played a vital role in the company’s success.
“This celebration not only marks 20 years of successful operations in Australia but also reflects the strength of our partnerships and the incredible morale within our team,” he says.
“We are proud of what we have achieved and look forward to continued innovation and growth in the years ahead.”
Lombardo also made special acknowledgement of the guests who travelled from Italy to join the celebration – Merlo S.p.A CEO Paolo Merlo, export business manager Francesco Brondino, and area service manager Stefano Levratto.
Guests were treated to an exquisite dining experience and live entertainment, including a stunning performance by renowned electric violinist Cardinia and live music by Jellybean Jam.
One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of four awards to top-performing Merlo dealers, recognising their dedication and contribution to the brand’s growth and success in Australia.
The celebration also comes one year after Merlo marked 60 years as a company, having been officially founded in 1964 after Giuseppe Merlo opened a 250sqm workshop for iron processing more than half a century prior.
As Merlo Group Australia looks forward to future milestones, the company says it remains dedicated to delivering cutting-edge telehandler solutions and strengthening partnerships across the agricultural, construction, and industrial sectors.
Merlo’s product range for the agricultural sector includes the Turbofarmer telehandler, along with the Multifarmer – a unique product which combines the benefits of both telehandlers and tractors.
