The Business Mission was held in conjunction with the first ever US Business Exhibition, organized jointly by the US Embassy in Turkmenistan and the Turkmen Chamber of Commerce.
A wide range of machinery from CNH’s brands was on display at the exhibition, including the renowned Case IH Magnum 255, Cotton Express® 420 cotton picker and Early Riser 1200 planter, together with an array of hay and forage equipment, including the New Holland FP 230 forage harvester and the BC5060 square baler.
CNH presented its products and services alongside more than 50 high-ranking US companies, who were also invited to formally introduce their organizations to the USTBC, and other distinguished guests, including the Turkmen Vice Premier Myratgeldi Akmamedov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Rashid Meredov and the newly-appointed US Ambassador to Turkmenistan Robert Patterson.

Speaking at the Business Forum on behalf of CNH, Mario Gasparri addressed the guests by first thanking his Excellency Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, President of Turkmenistan, for his support of this event and of the long-term cooperation and fruitful partnership in the agribusiness sector which has been built over the years between CNH and Turkmenistan.
Addressing the audience he said, “At Case New Holland we have a very strong relationship which has grown and flourished with Turkmenistan from 1994. Since that time we have worked closely with Turkmenistan and to date we have delivered 3,000 flagship products. With over 17 years operating in
the Turkmenistan market we have built up a strong parts and service operation capable of supporting any agricultural requirement. All our staff are trained in the latest technologies and are equipped to provide intervention support and training.”
