Recently Landscape & Amenity Product Update paid a visit to the State of the Art Countax facility in Oxfordshire. The business has grown at a steady pace since incorporation in nineteen eighty four and even won a Price Waterhouse fastest growing business award in 1992. Countax is now regarded as a significant player within the Landscaping and groundcare sector.

New ranges and models have come along over the years including, hydrostatic and ‘A’ series tractors and more awards followed including three times winner of the BAGMA award for the best ride-on mower.

Two thousand saw the tenth year anniversary and over £2m investment in new plant and IT and the new products kept on coming. 2001 - the launch of a noise reduction programme with the K18/50 model, 2002 the launch of the worlds first stainless steel garden tractor, 2005 launch of Countax 4WD, 2006 launch of Countax X Series range and 2007 saw Countax take over distribution of the Echo Bear Cat Chippers and Shredders range.
