Thierry Krier, president and CEO of Kuhn Group and president of CEMA, participated in a conversation with Frans Timmermans, then-Executive Vice President of the European Commission, in April 2021 during the CEMA Summit. In the discussion, Krier described the farm equipment sector as moving from being "providers of machines" to "provider of solutions" and stated that companies in the sector focus on "producing more, producing better, and also doing it with less and less resources." He noted a shift in public sentiment from "agri-bashing" toward "agri-loving" due to the agricultural sector's resilience during the COVID-19 crisis. In a separate February 2021 interview, Krier outlined an expansion plan for Kuhn in Saverne, France, involving a public consultation process for revising local land-use plans to acquire approximately 30 hectares of land adjacent to the company's industrial site. He stated that if the expansion were not possible, the company would "envisager un cas de figure totalement différent plus proche du centre géographique actuelle de la grande europe," referring to a location further east than Alsace.
