New cooperation in Canada with LanAgro

Linköping, Sweden / Cornwall, Ontario, Canada 

LanAgro, the Ontario-based specialist in Scandinavian agriculture machinery working to 
introduce the Nordic market leader in trailers and hook lift systems to Canada. Ivarssons i 
Metsjö AB (Metsjö), a Swedish family-owned company founded in 1958, is a firm that 
manufactures all its products at its facility in Metsjö, just outside Linköping, Sweden.

Metsjö has built a strong reputation throughout Scandinavia for producing high-capacity 
trailers and hook lift systems, that are durable and feature the latest technologies. Among its 
innovations are the world’s largest grass trailer, the MetaK 120, with a 90m³
capacity, and the world’s largest tractor drawn hook lift trailer, the MetaFlex 60–75 4X, with a 
tipping force of 35 tons. The company also manufactures bale trailers with hydraulic sides 
and tipping trailers for grass, grain, and sand/gravel. To support this advanced production, 
Metsjö operates some of the world’s most powerful industrial equipment, including a 40-
meter tube laser with 3D cutting capabilities and a 1,000-ton CNC press brake.

“I am very excited about the opportunity to bring Metsjö’s products to Canada. The company 
has developed unique and well-thought-out technologies, such as the telescopic tipping 
function on their hook lift trailers. This makes the hook lift just as fast as a conventional tipper 
when unloading, significantly stronger in shifting, and eliminates the need for a separate 
PTO-driven hydraulic system,” says Jeff Lancaster, proprietor of LanAgro.

“We are thrilled to enter the Canadian market – a country that in many ways shares a similar 
climate with Sweden. Both countries deal with salty winter roads, something our advanced 
painting system is designed to withstand. We look forward to connecting with Canadian 
farmers and contractors, and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to deliver our 
trailers to Canada,” says Anders Ivarsson, Ivarssons i Metsjö AB

“Our direct-to-dealer sales approach will make high technology and quality available to 
farmer and contractors at reasonable costs.” said Jeff Lancaster. Adding that Scandinavian 
made agricultural equipment has an excellent reputation for both quality and functionality on 
the Canadian market. “We are representing products from Nordic nations that have 
operating conditions very similar to ours, this is an incredible asset. It’s also equipment that 
is tariff-free from countries that do not have any ambitions or designs against Canadian 
famers.”
