Avant Tecno prepares for busy June with three major industry events

Manufacturer of compact multifunctional loaders, Avant Tecno, are gearing up for a busy month of exhibitions and sponsorship events throughout June.

Avant Tecno’s events include the Royal Highland Show, Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby and APEX 2026.

“With our calendar now filled for June, we can’t wait to meet customers, partners and industry professionals across the events. From Scottish Highland farm fields to the very best in equestrian sport, our multifunctional loaders are trusted around the globe to help people work smarter, not harder” says Raimo Ala-Korpi, Managing Director of Avant Tecno UK.

Taking place on 18^th to 21^st June, the Royal Highland Show is an annual community event, celebrating the very best of food, farming and rural life at Ingliston, Edinburgh.

With Avant’s compact loaders being popular across farming and estate management applications, the team will be showcasing their latest loaders to both Scottish farmers and farm enthusiasts – including the 200 Series and the Electric Series.

As a long-standing supporter to the equestrian sector – and Olympic event rider Tom McEwen serving as Avant Tecno’s equestrian ambassador – Avant will also be sponsoring and attending the prestigious horse showjumping event, the Al Shira’aa Hickstead Derby – held on 21^st June.

“Given that Avant loaders and many of our attachments were originally developed to support agriculture and equestrian applications, we’re always keen to maintain strong relationships in these industries through events and sponsorship. June provides a fantastic opportunity for us to spend time with the people who use our machinery every day – discussing the challenges farms, estates and equestrian facilities face, while demonstrating how our machines can help improve productivity and efficiency” adds Raimo.

Avant will also be joining their sister company, Leguan Lifts, at their APEX 2026 exhibition stand, to support them in the official launch of their new electrified all-terrain spider lift range, powered by the Avant Power Optimtemp battery.

Held from 2^nd to 4^th June at the MECC in Maastricht, Netherlands, APEX 2026 is the leading international trade exhibitions for the powered access industry.

“APEX 2026 will be an important milestone as we support Leguan Lifts in unveiling their new electrified all-terrain spider lifts – a true testament to innovation in sustainable technology from the Avant Group!” concludes Raimo.
