Nestled in the heart of Namibia, Otjiwarongo Motors and Tractors (OMT) has become a cornerstone of the agricultural community. Founded in 1983, this family owned business has dedicated itself to providing high-quality parts, spares, and exceptional service, ensuring the seamless operation of agricultural machinery for the region’s farmers. OMT offers a comprehensive range of agricultural equipment, from tractors to various implements, recognizing the critical role reliable machinery plays in the agricultural industry. As a proud supplier of Massey Ferguson tractors and spares, OMT has established itself as an indispensable partner for farmers throughout Namibia.
Four decades of commitment Over the past 40 years, OMT has grown significantly, becoming a trusted ally for the Namibian agricultural sector. The challenging farming conditions in Namibia, characterised by vast distances between farms and towns, necessitate a reliable and trustworthy supplier. OMT has consistently risen to the occasion, providing unwavering support when it is needed most. The Kopp family: Born to farm Erni Kopp, the owner and founder of OMT, reflects on the early days: “Looking back at where everything started, I explored the country and asked myself what I wanted to achieve here? Whereafter, we decided to establish ourselves in Otjiwarongo.” Erni, along with his sons Thorsten and Gero, and supported by his wife Heidi, has driven the business forward over the past four decades. Heidi reminisces: “I clearly remember when Erni came home with the idea of starting our own business. It was a wonderful idea, and we were committed to making it happen.” The journey was not without its challenges. Initially, there was no irrigation, and farmers primarily relied on dryland farming. Despite the tough conditions, the Kopp family persevered. Erni recalls: “We pushed through, and we have made it.” Thorsten, who is part of the business since the beginning of his carrier, shares his passion: “The agricultural industry and farming equipment have always been my true passion. Since I can remember, Massey Ferguson has been the tractor for me. There is no other tractor like a Massey!”
Serving all of Namibia Gero emphasises: “If you are looking for any agricultural equipment or a tractor, get in touch with us. We service the whole of Namibia, from the Orange River to the Okavango, the Zambezi region, and everything in between. We will ensure you get the right equipment.”
