FELCO AUSTRALIA CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF OPERATION!

Late in 1999, Felco recognised the strong potential of the Australian market and decided to establish its first foothold in the Southern Hemisphere, with factory-trained technicians and sales personnel. The move involved significant commitments in human and monetary resources, and a fast learning curve to effectively manage the tyranny of distance, different time zones and opposite seasonalities.

10 years on, Felco Australia and its trading arm Felco Distribution have become a robust Australian business, supplying both professional growers and home gardeners through hundreds of points of sale across the country, and servicing Felco equipment directly and through a national network of service centres.

Our brand is strong because we relentlessly seek to achieve world's best quality in everything we do - which also ensures that dull moments are very few and far between!

We would like to use this important milestone to express our most sincere thanks to all Felco end-users and retailers for their faith in our products and look forward to spending many more years under the Southern Cross.

FELCOTRONICS QUALIFY FOR NEW TAX BREAK. the Australian Parliament has passed the new Investment Allowance Bill that allows purchasers of eligible new equipment to claim one-off tax deductions over and above normal depreciation. The deduction is 50% for small businesses and individuals carrying a business activity with a turnover of less than $2 million, and 30% for larger businesses. This means an actual price subsidy of up to 25% for individuals, 15% for small companies, and up to 9% for larger businesses. Any business or person exercising a business activity can claim. Orders must be placed before December 31st 2009 for small businesses, and before June 30th 2009 for larger businesss. The allowance can only be claimed in the financial year the equipment was put to use, so a delivery before June 30th is required to claim the allowance in the 2008-2009 financial year. The minimum purchase value for persons and business with a turnover of less than $2 million is $1,000, and $10'000 for larger businesses. Sets of several items qualify towards meeting the value threshold. New Felco equipment and especially electric secateurs qualify for the allowance. Interested persons should take advantage of this very attractive window of opportunity. We recommend that implementation details and eligibility criteria be verified with qualified tax agents.

Possible indentations can be smoothed out using the diamond-coated end. Valued at over $80, the Duplex sharpener is the ultimate sharpening solution for the demanding professional.
