HISTORY & HERITAGE

With roots that are firmly established in the North American farm equipment industry, AGCO Corporation has a brand heritage and reputation that reaches as far back as the mid-1800s. AGCO got its start in 1990 with the purchase of Deutz Allis Corporation from German-based Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AG. KHD, in turn, had purchased portions of the Allis-Chalmers agricultural equipment business five years earlier. Since that time, AGCO has become a worldwide farm machinery company through market growth, strategic acquisitions and cutting edge agricultural solutions.

AGCO purchased Hesston Corporation, a leading North American brand of hay tools and a 50% participation in the manufacturing joint venture with Case International, known as Hay and Forage Industries (HFI). In mid-year, AGCO purchased the White tractor business from Allied Products. Both acquisitions expanded the AGCO dealer network, while the brand identities were retained.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP

As we help professional farmers work their land in communities around the world, AGCO is also helping to care for the Earth we all share. In all our activities, we seek to protect the natural environment from harmful influences, conserve natural resources and promote environmental awareness. At every AGCO manufacturing plant, we comply with all environmental regulations; however, we are constantly working in a proactive way to meet higher standards. There are many examples: replacing fluorescent lighting to reduce waste mercury pollution; adopting painting materials and procedures that reduce air pollution inside and outside the plants; recycling wooden pallets and crates; recycling water; substituting biodegradable solvents for chloride solvents and more. Innovative equipment design also provides environmental benefits. Our leading-edge transmission and engine technologies reduce emissions and noise while improving fuel economy. We are also advancing the use of biodegradable fuels and bio-diesel fuels (such as sugar cane fuel in Brazil).

AGCO is a leader in providing high-tech, integrated solutions for precision farming. Today, farmers are using our proven technology to save fuel, manage chemical and fertilizer applications, increase crop yield and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

At AGCO, we take our environmental responsibility very seriously – as an important measure of good corporate citizenship and ethical corporate governance.

BIO-FUELS AND ECOLOGY

Environmental awareness and agricultural innovation have merged into a new energy source: Bio-Diesel. AGCO has developed engines that burn bio-fuel mixtures of diesel oil with vegetable oils – pulled from soybeans, sunflowers and other foodstuffs.

Currently, AGCO offers engines that burn B5 fuel – diesel fuel with 5% plant matter. We are also continuing to research the use of different bio-fuel mixtures ranging from B10 to B100 – a complete plant matter-based, diesel energy source, in our engines.
TECH HIGHLIGHTS

Bio-Diesel provides benefits to both the land and the farmers:
Bio-Diesel burns cleaner and pollutes less than other fuel.
The value of crops used for Bio-Diesel has increased significantly.
