None of this would have happened without them
User companies, universities, institutes, associations and journals that played a part in the story of the ACCORD PNEUMATIC system. The list goes back to a compilation by Helmut Weiste; the addresses were checked in 2026.
User companies
Manufacturers that use, or have used, the PNEUMATIC system in their machines. Much of the success is theirs: it was not ACCORD alone but the exchange between both sides that created today's variety of seeding combinations.
