RAUCH and OTT celebrate 50 years of successful partnership - contract extended for a further 12 years

RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH, leading manufacturer of innovative fertiliser technology and winter service spreaders, is celebrating a special anniversary this year: the company has been working closely and successfully with OTT Landmaschinen AG, based in Zollikofen (CH), for more than 50 years.

OTT has been the exclusive importer of the RAUCH brand in Switzerland since 1975 and has played a key role in establishing RAUCH products on the Swiss market. The partnership is characterised by trust, a spirit of innovation and the shared aspiration to offer farmers high-quality, practical technology.
To mark the anniversary, the collaboration was not only honoured, but also continued in the long term: In June 2025, both companies signed the extension of the existing distribution agreement for a further twelve years.

The signing of the contract was attended by Mr Lukas Burkhalter, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ott Holding AG, Jürg Schmid, Managing Director of OTT Landmaschinen AG, Wilfried Müller, Managing Director of RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH, as well as Volker Rathmer, Sales Manager D-A-CH at RAUCH and Elke Pankow Sales Manager Export.
"OTT has been a strong and reliable partner at our side for half a century. We are very pleased about the contract extension and the future together until at least 2033," said Wilfried Müller. Lukas Burkhalter also emphasised: "The partnership with RAUCH is an important cornerstone of our company. The continuation of this cooperation is a clear commitment to the quality and innovative strength of both companies."

Looking to the future, RAUCH and OTT will continue to focus on technological development, sustainable solutions and close cooperation with their customers in Switzerland.
