AGRICULTURAL equipment maker, Zimplow Holdings Limited, has  concluded the acquisition of a 49% stake in Barzem, with the firm now set-to be relaunched under a new name.

This comes after Barzem, a joint operation with Barloworld, discontinued its Caterpillar (CAT) dealership in September last year, which negatively impacted on Zimplow’s  overall performance for the year to December 31, 2022.
