Driving Visibility, Engagement and Purpose in the Field
New Holland Construction delivered a purposeful and impactful presence at NAMPO Bothaville 2026, leveraging one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest agricultural exhibitions to showcase its practical equipment solutions, strengthen customer engagement, and reinforce its commitment to supporting communities when they need it most.
The event provided an excellent platform to connect with customers, industry professionals, and local stakeholders while demonstrating the reliability, versatility, and value that define the New Holland Construction brand.
A Strong and Accessible On-Site Presence
At the heart of the New Holland Construction display was a strategically positioned static exhibit featuring the L318 Skid Steer Loader, B80C Tractor Loader Backhoe, and B115C Tractor Loader Backhoe.
The stand was designed to maximize visibility and accessibility, creating an inviting environment where visitors could closely inspect the machines, engage with product specialists, and gain a deeper understanding of the benefits each model offers. The carefully selected lineup highlighted New Holland Construction’s commitment to delivering hardworking, dependable, and practical equipment solutions tailored to the needs of the construction, agricultural, and infrastructure sectors.
Throughout the event, the display attracted a steady flow of visitors, generating valuable conversations around machine performance, productivity, and ownership benefits.
Engagement Through Innovation
Visitor interaction was brought to life through a creative activation led by Wim Farmer—the popular "Cat Crawl" game.
This engaging activity added a fun and interactive element to the stand, encouraging participation from visitors of all ages and drawing a diverse audience to the New Holland Construction display. The activation proved particularly successful with families and younger visitors, helping to create memorable experiences while reinforcing the brand's approachable and customer-focused identity.
By combining entertainment with product exposure, the initiative helped increase foot traffic and provided additional opportunities for meaningful customer engagement throughout the exhibition.

NAMPO 2026 delivered encouraging commercial results for New Holland Construction, generating strong interest across multiple product categories and regions.
During the event, the team captured a considerable number of qualified leads from prospective customers, with interest spread across key regions including the Eastern Cape, Free State, and Gauteng. Visitors expressed particular interest in excavators, tractor loader backhoes, and skid steer loaders, reflecting the continued demand for versatile and reliable equipment solutions.
Importantly, the exhibition generated early sales momentum, with opportunities emerging from areas such as Heidelberg, Hoopstad, Harrismith, Bergville, and the Northwest Province. These promising prospects demonstrate not only the strength of the New Holland Construction product offering but also the effectiveness of the team's engagement strategy during the event.
The quality of the leads generated reinforces the relevance of the New Holland Construction portfolio in addressing customer requirements and supporting business growth across the region.
Community Impact and Brand Purpose in Action
Beyond showcasing products and generating commercial opportunities, New Holland Construction used NAMPO 2026 as a platform to highlight its commitment to making a positive difference in local communities.
In response to the devastating floods that affected Patensie in the Eastern Cape, the New Holland Construction team deployed a B80C Tractor Loader Backhoe to support critical recovery operations. The machine played an important role in removing debris from affected river systems, restoring access to essential infrastructure, including bridges, and reopening surrounding areas to facilitate safe movement and recovery efforts.
Sharing this initiative at NAMPO helped demonstrate that New Holland Construction is more than an equipment supplier. It is a trusted partner that stands alongside communities during challenging times, providing practical support and reliable solutions when they are needed most.
This commitment to community support resonated strongly with visitors and reinforced the brand's values of reliability, responsibility, and partnership.
Looking Ahead
NAMPO Bothaville 2026 reaffirmed New Holland Construction's position as a brand that delivers on multiple fronts—combining product excellence, meaningful customer engagement, commercial impact, and community commitment.
As the team builds on the momentum generated at the event, the focus remains on supporting customers with dependable equipment solutions, strengthening partnerships, and continuing to create positive impacts in the communities where we operate.
