Countax becomes Ariens Company Limited
Effective from the 1st July 2015, Countax Limited, located in Great Haseley, Oxfordshire, UK, has changed its name to Ariens Company Limited, to become the UK arm of the Wisconsin, USA-based Ariens Company

The family-owned Ariens Company began manufacturing tillers in 1933 and entered the lawn and garden market in 1950, quickly establishing a reputation for tough, durable and dependable machinery. Dan Ariens, great-grandson of company founder Henry Ariens, joined the business in 1983 and is the current Chairman and CEO.
"The name change signifies our commitment to the UK," says Dan "while continuing to build on the strength and quality of the Countax and Westwood brands. We have a long-term vision for Ariens Company Limited, with our traditional values employed in continuous improvement to provide customers and our business partners with exceptional products."
Manufacturing of the Countax, Westwood and Ariens products continues at the Great Haseley, Oxfordshire factory, which is currently undergoing improvement and receiving the new livery and signage.
