Of the UK launch of Unia
machinery, Manterra founder,

as the Dacia of the UK agricultural
machinery market. Modern
Western European designs built to
withstand a tough life on Eastern
European farms but with an
unbelievably low price tag. As the
Dacia is currently the fastest

launch of Unia as it's the UK's
leading Machinery show which,
like Unia, offers value for money
