Club Car, a global leader in manufacturing small-wheel, zero-emissions electric vehicles, is thrilled to announce its partnership with AFGRI Equipment as the brand’s new official distributor in South Africa. This strategic move will see AFGRI Equipment supplying Club Car’s full range of golf, utility, and consumer vehicles across Southern Africa, with distribution through its extensive network of 32 dealerships.
Established in 1923, AFGRI Equipment has experienced rapid growth in recent years, emerging as a leading provider of premium equipment to the golf and turf, construction, agriculture, and forestry sectors. As the largest John Deere distributor outside North America, AFGRI has significantly increased its market share in the golf and turf industry over the past three years.
Nicolas Le Glas, Club Car’s Regional Sales Manager for the Middle East and Africa, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “AFGRI embodies the core values of Club Car—building relationships and delivering quality—making them a natural fit to distribute our vehicles.” He also highlighted AFGRI’s strong presence and reputation in South Africa, noting that the company is a trusted partner to some of the nation’s largest organizations. “South Africa is a market with tremendous potential for Club Car, and we look forward to working with AFGRI Equipment to introduce our world-class products to new customers across South Africa and into sub-Saharan Africa.”
Patrick Roux, Managing Director of AFGRI Equipment, shared his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We are proud to represent and expand the Club Car brand within our AFGRI Equipment network. The synergy between our businesses as leading suppliers of golf and turf equipment is immense, allowing us to offer a complete package to golf courses, industries, and individual customers with the premium Club Car brand.” Roux also mentioned that AFGRI’s innovative financing, leasing, and rent-to-own models will play a crucial role in making a significant impact on the market.
Club Car’s golf, utility, and consumer vehicles are the preferred choice of top golf and hospitality destinations worldwide. The brand is also a proud partner of the PGA of America, PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, and the DP World Tour. In South Africa, Club Car’s long-term clients include prestigious golf venues such as Leopard Creek, Fancourt, and St Francis Links.
