FAE USA’s Open House 2022

A Testament To The Value of Investing in Long Term, Win-Win-Win Partnerships.

FAE USA hosted its 2022 Open House last week during a private dealer and customer event that took place at the company’s headquarters in Flowery Branch, GA.

FAE’s dealers and their guests mobilized from all over the US, Canada and South America, along with industry leaders, government officials, media representatives, large manufacturers and other business owners, to attend this sold-out event. The outstanding participation and outpour of support FAE received from its dealers and customers during the Open House is a clear testament to the value of investing in long term partnerships with a vision focused on quality, excellence, leadership, commitment and a win-win- win structure for all.  

During a short and warm welcoming speech, FAE USA’s CEO, Giorgio Carera, reiterated the importance of its dealer network and customer base, whom he referred to as “our biggest assets” and explained how the company translates its ‘Make The Difference’ motto into the everyday operations that help position FAE as the industry leader in North America.  

For Carera and his FAE USA team, the Open House held a very special significance. This year, the company officially celebrates 20 years since its inception in the US market, culminating two  decades of hard work and leadership and the achievement of a monumental milestone. 

Technological Releases at FAE’s Open House 2022

During the Open House, FAE USA showcased the latest and greatest in sustainable land management technology with an outstanding selection of its most popular and versatile models. 

The main focus was undoubtedly FAE's new RCU line of remote controlled tracked carriers. Amidst confetti cannons and exciting drum rolls, the new RCU line was officially released and introduced to the US market during the event. Once again, FAE raised the bar and elevated all degrees of design, quality, durability and productivity to produce a model that is far superior to anything that is currently available and with potential to revolutionize the entire market segment.

FAE’s RCU line is designed to clear vegetation in hard-to-access areas and steeply sloping terrain that requires dedicated equipment to ensure operator safety and operating efficiency. One of the most important features of the series is its unbeatable traction technology, which allows the units to work on steep slopes up to 55°. Open House attendees were able to watch this new technology in action and the feedback and positive response has been overwhelming.
