Reesink Canada Holdings Acquires Ag Authority
October 2, 2025 – Saskatchewan, Canada – Reesink Canada Holdings Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Ag Authority, a well-respected agricultural equipment dealer based in Kinistino, Saskatchewan. This acquisition marks a strategic expansion of Reesink’s Canadian operations, growing their Full Line CLAAS dealer network from three to four locations and strengthening its presence in key large-scale agricultural areas.
Ag Authority, located in the fertile Carrot River Valley, has a robust product portfolio including brands such as CLAAS, Horsch, MacDon, Versatile, and Elmer’s. Ag Authority has established itself as a cornerstone within the community, and has built a reputation for strong customer relationships, community engagement, resilient performance, and a service-oriented team.
This acquisition strengthens Reesink's ability to offer broader product coverage, absorb equipment trades, and support the roll-out of new innovative machinery. It also reinforces Reesink’s strategic plan of improved territory coverage with operational synergies and clearly positions Reesink as a platform for future growth.
Following the acquisition of Lawson Sales in 2023, Ag Authority adds to a list of targeted acquisitions and strategic partnerships which Reesink has done as part of the Group’s Buy & Build strategy since Triton’s investment in September 2019.
Doug Pilsner, President of Reesink Canada:
“Ag Authority is a strong cultural and strategic fit. This acquisition expands our coverage and brand alignment across Western Canada and allows us to provide additional customer value. We’re excited to work closely with the Ag Authority team and bring their strengths into our broader Canadian network.”
This acquisition is effective immediately. Ag Authority as a company and its management and staff will remain in place. Customers can expect continuity of day-to-day business and service, with added support and scale through Reesink’s Canadian and international resources.
Rogier van der Linde, CEO at Royal Reesink:
“We have followed Ag Authority for several years and are impressed by its focus and resilience. With Reesink’s support, we believe this team is well-positioned to continue growing in both sales and aftermarket services. This is a contiguous and natural addition to our Prairie AG footprint, enabling producers with key brands like CLAAS and Horsch, and ensuring better balance sheet efficiency across our dealer locations.
We would like to thank Carmela and David Cook for their constructive collaboration and for placing their trust in us. We wish them every success in the future.”
